Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will meet with delegates from the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union in Brisbane today to discuss workers’ rights, and the Palaszczuk Government’s bid for the next election.
AMWU State Secretary Rohan Webb says it is “the largest assembly of AMWU delegates in Queensland and the Northern Territory and marks an unprecedented campaign by workers to fight … for wages to keep up with the cost of living.”
In the next election, the Palaszczuk Government plans to bid for a $15 billion defence contract which they say will “support thousands of Queensland manufacturing jobs.”
