Solving our Unemployment Crisis: Conference

19 Apr 2016 - 9:00am to 4:00pm

Crisis? What Crisis?
- 11 job seekers competing for each vacancy (more for low-skilled jobs)
- 750,000 unemployed workers, more than one million underemployed
- Newstart Allowance $380 below the poverty line per fortnight
- $1.3 billion job services industry - discredited and dysfunctional
- bullying and harassment at work for the dole sites

It doesn't have to be this way.

What should we demand of the Federal Government?
Can we build a united position?
Join the discussion!
