An Albanese Labor Government will deliver secure jobs with better pay.

Labor will put secure work at the heart of our system – the pandemic exposed how vulnerable insecure workers can be.

Labor wants wages to grow – not a race to the bottom – the Liberals made low wages a ‘deliberate design feature’ of their policies.

Under Labor’s workplace policies more workers will be able to plan for their futures with certainty. 

There are around 3.4 million people in insecure work in this country – casuals, gig workers, freelancers, short-term contract workers – and underemployment is at 8.3 per cent.

Being in secure work means more Australians can:

• Get a bank loan to buy a home or start a business 
• Take leave when they’re sick or need to look after their loved ones, without risking their employment
• Have the confidence to spend money to stimulate the Australian economy, boost growth and create more jobs

Only a Labor Government has a plan to tackle the problem of insecure work. Australian workers deserve secure jobs, to be safe at work, and to be paid at least the minimum wage.

The Morrison Government has a deliberate strategy to keep wages low. No Australian should be forced to go to work sick, because they can’t afford to take a day off.

Australian workers know they cannot trust a Liberal-National Government with their wages and conditions.
