Just in the last month, TWU Members from the ACTAS joined TWU leadership in Canberra to speak to not only the Minister for Emergency Services and the Minister for Health, but the Chief Minister of the ACT as well.
We talked openly about the challenges our members face day-to-day, and how the Chief Minister and Emergency Services and Health Ministries can support members in their budget. It was great to be there with Ben Sweany and you all as you took your experiences to the government face-to-face.
Anyone that knows me knows I also love spending time with our Garbos, that’s just a fact. Was proud to stand by JJ’s Garbos this month as we continue to pursue minimum standards across transport, including in waste.
As we all know by now, 2026 is a big year for the Transport Workers’ Union and our members, not just here in the ACT but nationally as well. As we fight together for Our Roads, Our Skies, Our Future, I’m looking forward to continuing to stand with you all.
Have a great Easter and take care.
