Episode description
Dunn Street founder Stephen Donnelly was joined by the National Secretary of the Transport Workers Union, Michael Kaine.
Michael discusses how, with Australian states opening up post lockdowns, the Australian transport industry is in crisis and explains how international businesses like Amazon and Uber are exploiting Australian workers, enabled by existing archaic industrial regulations and laws.
Michael explains how the TWU are taking the fight to Amazon, the gig economy, and the airline industry, detailing the steps the union needs to take in order to protect workers and create a system that works for employees.
