Snap Rally to Save Covid Protections for Essential Workers
Start: Tuesday, November 23, 2021• 7:30 AM
Join union members and supporters from across Sydney as we rally to stop this government's heartless attack on essential workers.
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet wants to repeal protections for essential workers who contract COVID-19.
The protections ensured a sick worker didn't have to go through bureaucratic hoops to prove they contracted COVID-19 at work.
The NSW Government says it is cheaper to remove this protection, but any savings will be tiny compared to the impact on sick individuals with COVID-19.
Workers and community members will assembly behind NSW Parliament on Hospital Road. COVID-safe marshalls will be there to assist and a COVID-safety plan is in place.
The bill could be voted on as early as Tuesday - we need to act before it's too late.
