SafetyNet 537

Welcome to the June 17 edition of SafetyNet

It's been a big week for Victorian workers, with wage theft laws passing Victoria's Upper House. This was one of the big campaigns run last year by the VTHC, the other being Industrial manslaughter laws. Both will make our workplaces better. 
And in case you don't have time to read the whole journal today, just remember our live webinar on DWGs and HSR elections tonight at 7pm. 

To keep up to date and informed between editions of the journal, go to our We Are Union: OHS Reps Facebook page. If you have any questions or need any advice, we can be reached via the Ask Renata facility on the website or through the closed OHS Network Facebook page.
