Petition updateGuarantee Wages for All Workers Sick, Isolated, Caring, Sacked or Stood Down over COVID-19

Government Announces $550 weekly payment for stood down or sacked workers - more needed!

The Federal Government has announced workers who are stood down or sacked will have early rapid access to new social security payments with the Job Seeker Allowance to be doubled to about $550 per week.

This helps address some parts of our claims but it is not the full wage for many workers, and doesn't deal with supermarket workers who need emergency infectious diseases leave. Keep pumping the petition - let's get more action!
