The National Lung Cancer Screening Program is a Federal Government initiative that aims to screen people at risk of lung cancer, so that this condition may be diagnosed earlier. This is an important health initiative that will mean that people are diagnosed earlier, have more treatment options, and better survival rates.

Sadly, many AMWU members are at risk of lung cancer, having worked with carcinogens such as; asbestos and welding fumes. It is worth considering whether you are eligible for the screening program and talking to your GP about it.

If you have been diagnosed with lung cancer and want to discuss potential compensation entitlements, please contact Carol Saunders at Gordon Legal on 0438 656 335

Our members at Strammit and Taurean Doors have been working hard since November to secure a fair deal, and today marks their first significant step toward achieving it.

After one action, the company's mentality of slashing workers' conditions has already begun to change, as management has conceded that no agreement that targets these hard-fought conditions will get up.

Now, we are fighting for a fair wage increase, and their current offer is simply not enough.

Stay tuned for further updates.

This Monday, Crown Equipment workers are making their voices heard at Bunnings Box Hill!

Despite the company's profitability, Crown management is trying to freeze allowances and shortchange workers on a fair and honest wage increase. Enough is enough!

Join us for a snap rally this Monday at 10:00 AM at Bunnings Box Hill (259 Middleborough Rd, Box Hill) as we bring together both Melbourne sites and call on Crown Management to step up and give our members' wages and conditions a lift!

Let's show Crown's number one customer how they treat their hardworking workers!
