Every day we see news reports urging people to stay home, stay safe and rising infection/death tolls. This is ALARMING! We all have families, grandparents or friends to try to protect but as an essential service we are expected to put on our uniforms and game faces and get out there. We are expected to be reassuring, have all the answers AND resolve any issues and problems our clients might have. We receive updates and texts from managers but their reassurance is hollow when we know they are at home on their laptop. We have no idea if our next client is infected. No idea if our PPE is enough to protect us or if there is enough to go around. No idea if we know enough.
We are isolated, ill informed and scared as hell!

UWU acknowledges that we meet and work on the unceded lands of First Nations peoples.
We wish to pay respect to their Elders — past and present — and acknowledge the important role all First Nations peoples continue to play within Australia and in our union.

Our website is hosted on 100% carbon neutral servers in Naarm (Melbourne). The United Workers Union is committed to creating the secure & future-proof jobs workers and their communities need as our country continues to transition to a net zero economy.
