About the Your Rights at Work community
Your Rights at Work is a community campaign run by the ACTU. The campaign brings together the hundreds of thousands of hard working Australians who want to protect their rights and conditions at work.
The campaign began in earnest in 2005 when the Howard Government revealed, for the first time, the full extent of its proposed workplace changes. The decent system of workplace laws fought for by unions for over a hundred years - fair take home pay, job security, and conditions like leave and penalty rates - were all under unprecedented attack.
It’s vital that Australians know what their rights at work are and even more vital that, together, we fight for Rights at Work.
Rights at Work worth fighting - and joining in - for!
