since this @10NewsFirstMelb story, the @VicMarket say they "investigated the matter & have determined that the trader is acting within the market rules" & that they do not plan to do anything further to stop the sale of nazi memorabilia at the market🤮🤬 further efforts required

workplace poster for my mate who works at the Bureau of Meterology. sounds like a cooked place to work at the moment, which the bosses tried to band-aid by....... renaming the BOM as "The Bureau" recently, which addresses a total of zero of the issues there hahah

there’s a prototype break room operating for gig workers in Naarm. delivery riders are some of the most precarious & atomised workers in australia. plz spread the word to anyone working in these industries & encourage them to drop in to 391 Queen st 1-7pm today or tomorrow only !

Australia's trams, trains and buses are running over 40 years late on meeting the requiremends of the Federal Disability Discrimination Act. It's time to make public transport accessible, says @wallmansam in his latest cartoon / campaign poster. overland.org.au/2023/05/make…

This week will see workers in universities taking industrial action, protesting and organising against the myriad of issues in the sector - particularly fair pay, manageable workloads and action against casualisation. #ausunions
