Rockhampton union members will protest on Thursday morning against workplace law changes currently before the Senate.
They will be accompanied by a mobile billboard outside Member for Capricornia Michelle Landry’s office.
The action is part of a statewide campaign calling on Queensland’s federal politicians to reject the Industrial Relations Omnibus Bill.
Queensland Council of Unions General Secretary Michael Clifford said the bill would give employers more power to cut wages and conditions, make jobs casual, and reduce job security for workers.
“The economy and local businesses will not be able to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic if workers have their pay cut,” he said.
