The Australian Council of Trade Unions pays tribute to all workers in new ad

The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) is celebrating the role workers, in every industry and workplace, are playing in keeping the economy running during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In particular, ACTU secretary Sally McManus says, the campaign recognises workers that have previously been overlooked.

“It’s also reflecting that the word ‘worker’ has taken on a new and more accurate meaning in the community in a time of crisis – for years it’s effectively been code for blue collar, or for being low paid, but today it’s taken on a broader meaning,” she said.
