Why being there matters

The Departments have moved negotiations to conciliation. They’re hoping you go quiet while it sits there.

Hundreds of workers on the front steps of Parliament turns a “bargaining matter” into a political problem. That’s what moves a government.

What to expect

It’s a half-day stop work. Gather at Parliament House, hear from members and delegates, and be seen by every MP walking into the building.

Good to know

You won’t be on your own. Members are coming from every region, with union buses running from the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Ipswich and across Brisbane.

Record it on your timesheet. You don’t need to apply for Special Leave Without Pay. The Department makes the pay adjustment.

Safety comes first. Where a child or young person is in immediate danger, the stop work doesn’t apply. You decide what’s emergent.

Let’s get visible! Wear your Together shirt if you have one. If you don’t, come as you are. Home-made signs make a big impact.
