ISSUES WE FIGHT FOR
VISA AMNESTY & PROTECTION
Workplace laws in Australia should apply equally to all workers employed here. By law, visa holders and migrant workers have the same workplace entitlements and protections as all other employees in Australia.
Migrant workers deserve equal rights and protections.
United Workers Union members come from all walks of life. Our members from migrant backgrounds contribute to the workforce that keeps our economy running.
Employers engaging foreign workers must ensure compliance with both Australian workplace laws and immigration laws.
UWU actively advocates for protections to combat worker exploitation and advance Visa amnesty that allows migrant workers to report issues without fear of visa cancellation.
WHAT WE’RE FIGHTING FOR
Here are some of the ways we’re fighting for Visa Amnesty:
- Workplace Justice Visa and Protection
- Protection against visa cancellation
- Wage theft and Superannuation protection
- Stronger reporting and workplace certification
