Scott Morrison’s IR Minister Christian Porter has just introduced two bills to attack working people – the Ensuring Integrity Bill that I wrote to you about last week – that would give Scott Morrison, big business and their lobbyists power to interfere with how unions are run, to disqualify union officers, to shut down unions, and stop unions from merging.
They have also introduced another bill the Proper Use of Workers Benefits Bill that would make it illegal for workers to run funds for things like insurance cover, redundancy protection, and training, just to name a few.
This is a serious attack on working people and the trade union movement.
Scott Morrison does not have a mandate to introduce these laws.
These laws will undermine workplace safety, increase wage and superannuation theft, and make it harder for workers to get pay increases and be represented when they need help.
They want to make it harder for unions to do our job of standing up for working people. When unions are under attack, all working people suffer. These bills must be stopped.
Because working people and unions have made contact with Senators about this, crossbench Senators have pushed for a Senate inquiry. That Senate inquiry is expected to report back in October, so the government can’t simply ram these laws through right now.
The inquiry buys us some time to build our campaign, but it’s not a lot of time.
I need you to join the campaign to stop Scott Morrison’s anti-union laws.

We will need everyone to take action again in coming weeks to stop these anti-worker, anti-union laws in their tracks.
