The three main objectives of the campaign are:
Abolishing unethical and unlawful employment practices in the industry – these methods include sham contracting, cash paid workers, over-casualisation and piece rates. Workers rights’ – this is about building a working environment that fosters a commitment to Australian values of democracy and freedom of association. Interfering in peoples' work-live
s by the coercion of members and delegates (or by other means), is disrespectful to workers’ rights. This is also about enshrining a safe work environment for all in the industry – it’s a workers’ right to return home healthy. Unlawful and unethical employment practices and attacks on workers’ rights like those found in many Australian poultry companies are not a path to fair wage bargaining, they significantly undermine it. This page gives the broader community a chance to stand up and voice its outrage at the unfair treatment of workers and to stand alongside workers fighting for common decency and respect. We built our page to help harness the power of Facebook and bring positive change to the world and to help win respect, fairness and decency for working people. We expect that all members of this page will treat each other with respect, compassion and dignity. We believe and uphold these values and fight for them everyday. We do not have to agree with each other all of the time (that’s what makes us a great movement). We do have to respect each other and listen to each others opinion and at some point make decisions together about what we need to do in this campaign. With all of this in mind we may delete posted comments that are rude or offensive; or contain vulgar or abusive language, personal attacks of any kind, offensive terms that target specific ethnic or racial groups or incite violence. Obviously any opinion expressed on this page is not necessarily the opinion of our Union.
