Unionism.

When I began my working life we worked 8 hours had 8 hours recreation and 8 hours rest.

We had both holiday pay and paid sick leave.

Now young people are working 24/7 with no holiday pay or sick leave.

They are not being paid overtime or penalty rates.

And their employment is casual and temporary.

All this has happened because Generation X refused to pay union fees.

They seemed to think that the unions didn't do anything.

But the only way to have power in the workplace is to bargain collectively.

And the only way to do this is to join a union.

This will ensure a voice for you in the workplace.

And a lobby group in government.

So join a union.

And reclaim your collective power.
