We have heard in the last couple of weeks, through leaked documents from the student strike for climate group, that so-called activist groups are also encouraging people in campaigns that they've sent around to people, saying that they 'encourage people to join your union. Join today and encourage your colleagues to do the same.' That email communication links to the Australian Council of Trade Unions recruitment website, and the ACTU have been out there encouraging people to take action and to be out there in this strike on Friday. They are also encouraging people to take this kind of unsafe action. How can a trade union, which is meant to be there to protect worker safety in this country, align itself with people who are directly encouraging people to put worker safety at risk? It is irresponsible and reprehensible and should be condemned by all in this place who stand up for worker safety and protect the right of Australians to go to their job and go back home safely.
