Stop Unfair Labour Hire Practices

Too many labour hire workers are being treated like second class citizens, with lower wages, worse conditions, and no job security

Insecure labour hire work makes it harder for these workers to pay the rent and the bills. Without a permanent job with decent wages, labour hire workers often locked out of the housing market and unable to buy their own family home.

In addition, labour hire workers are especially vulnerable to:

• Having little or no say at work;
• Being ripped off or paid less;
• Missing out on workplace training;
• Being easily fired, and
• Being injured at work and then not returning after injury.

There are simply too many dodgy firms engaging in unscrupulous labour hire practices that exploit workers and rip-off workers and communities. Enough is Enough.

It’s time for communities to take a stand, speak out and make Malcolm Turnbull and his Government take action. It’s time for the scourge of unfair labour hire practices to end.
