investment<\/strong><\/p><p>We need state and federal governments as well as the processors to invest in our industry to ensure we are still here in 20 years.<\/p><p>They must fund research and development for new and more efficient ways to get more from less farming and manufacturing. The government must support moving all manufacturing sites to 100% renewable energy sources.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Keep our factories open<\/strong><\/p><p>We must stop multinational companies mothballing regional sites just because they can. These sites are the life blood of our regional communities. We need to fight so that if a company does decide to close a site they must try and sell through a transparent process. If it can&#8217;t be sold, the company and the government must contribute $3 million dollars each to a community run fund of the workers choice to build new jobs in the surrounding area.<\/p><p><strong>Fair price for milk<\/strong><\/p><p>Milk must be sold at each point in the supply chain at a fair price. Processors and supermarkets have the responsibility to make this happen. To ensure that occurs and continues to occur workers are seeking transparent contracts and consultation on any new product, contract, change to milk price including all relevant prices.<\/p><p><strong>Paid leave for emergency service workers\/volunteers.<\/strong><\/p><p>Paid leave must be provided for emergency services workers and volunteers fighting fires. This includes ordinary rate of pay plus any allowances or loading a worker would normally accrue at the end of each pay cycle. Every worker should also be entitled to access a days paid leave to perform community services functions.<\/p><p><strong>Paid leave in the event work is affected by fires, drought, floods or the climate crisis<\/strong><\/p><p>When workers are stood down as a result environmental related causes, they should continue to receive full pay for the first two weeks, and 75% of their pay for any further time.<\/p><p>Agreements should include clauses providing clarity on heat and smoke thresholds for safe work and cease work. Workers will continue to be paid when work ceases for heat or smoke reasons<\/p><p><strong>Personal leave to be paid at ten days regardless of shift length.<\/strong><\/p><p>A worker should be entitled to ten days personal leave per year regardless of the length of your shift. There are some ongoing cases around how this applies to 10 and 12 hour shift workers. When we need a day off to care for a loved one or because we are ill, we need the day off and we should all be able to do this without loss of pay at least ten times a year. We can\u2019t wait for the court outcome but we can put this into our agreements and win it permanently.<\/p><p><strong>Give workers secure jobs<\/strong><\/p><p>We have a crisis of insecure work in our industry. We have many many casuals and fixed term workers in our industry that are working 40 hours plus every week for years and years on end. Our industry is predominantly based in rural communities and insecure work has a major impact on our members and our communities. We want an industry standard that allows casuals to be converted to permanent and paid fairly<\/p><p><strong>Strong union rights and paid union delegate positions<\/strong><\/p><p>Strong union rights and having paid union delegate positions will ensure and protect job security and worker\u2019s rights across the industry. Rights of the union are being eroded by the current government at every opportunity that they have. We are losing long term, well paid, secure union jobs across the industry to new, non-union, insecure, low-paid sites. We must make a level playing field for all processors to compete for contracts and keep these great jobs in the regions. To do this, we need organisers to focus on the new players and up-skill delegates to deal with the minor issues at a site level. For this to occur, we need companies to provide 10 paid hours of delegate time for every 100 workers covered by the agreement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e4207e sc_height_large sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6e4207e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-763c58dd elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"763c58dd\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-51e3c347 sc_inner_width_none sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\" data-id=\"51e3c347\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20d32076 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"20d32076\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FUTURE-PROOF JOBS FOR DAIRY WORKERS<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1ca4ed1 sc_inner_width_none sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\" data-id=\"1ca4ed1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23004b16 elementor-align-center sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"23004b16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"\/join\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Join Your Union<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dairy industry is in crisis.
