The Greens stand with HACSU members taking industrial action over the Rockliff Government’s failure to provide a fair deal for pay and conditions. The Liberals need to step up and engage in real negotiations with health and community sector workers.
Industrial action is a last resort, but HACSU workers have been driven to it by the Liberal Government. Workers have been waiting for months for the Liberals to seriously engage in pay and conditions negotiations. It’s no wonder they’re fed up.
Health and community sector workers literally save lives every day, and work in tough conditions to care for Tasmanians in need. Things are only getting worse under the Liberal Government, and it’s time they stepped up and provided real solutions.
Workers in these sectors, and the Tasmanians who rely on them, deserve better. The Rockliff Government need to give health and community service workers the respect they deserve and negotiate in good faith to improve pay and conditions.
