The State Government has today withdrawn their legislation to amend the Return to Work Act.
Let's be very clear, YOU made the difference. In less than a week, 1000 workers wrote to every member of the Labor government expressing your concerns, it mattered. It mattered a lot.
This action was integral for showing government why it needs to properly consult with workers on legislation.
The first hurdle has been cleared, but there's still work to be done.
The government intends to introduce new leglislation tomorrow, (we are waiting to see the text of the new bill, details we're aware of are in the comments⬇️) whilst it's expected to be much better than the initial bill and is set to be a net positive for injured workers, there are many issues within the system.
We're a united Union Movement in South Australia, and one thing is clear, we'll continue standing up for injured workers, no matter who's in government.
