Do you rely on penalty rates in your role?
There has been a lot of media attention on how the removal of penalty rates would affect hospitality workers on weekends, but what about the disability sector shift workers rostered on 24 hours, 7 days per week for accommodation and respite services?
The shift allowances set by our award ensure that workers who are rostered late, through the night and on weekends receive some remuneration for these hours.

Your union is pushing back against these attacks and wants to tell your story to those who think penalty rates don’t matter.
