Unions Tasmania secretary Jessica Munday says workers are often left out of decision making
The Advocate

Tasmanian workers are being asked about how they see their work and jobs in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.   

Unions Tasmania secretary Jessica Munday said workers and members of 23 unions were being surveyed on their views.



"We're surveying workers across Tasmania because we want to hear their views on their work, what they need from their jobs and what they want to see for our state in a post-pandemic Tasmania," Ms Munday said.

"Workers are often left out of decision making when they're the ones doing the jobs we're all talking about being critical to post-COVID recovery.   


"Workers have also borne the brunt of the pandemic with many in low paid, insecure jobs left in the cold because our workplace system allows for their work to be casualised too easily."

The survey has 19 questions covering a range of topics including working from home and childcare and any projects workers would like to see started to create jobs.



Ms Munday says it is not a "push poll" or tick the box survey.

It closes on August 15.

"We're talking to union members every day and some of the common themes about their concerns are casual jobs and insecure work which is worse with the pandemic," Ms Munday said.

"They want to see more local manufacturing with more products made in Tasmania and Australia.

"They also want the public service to play its role during the economic recovery."

Unions Tasmania has joined the push to increase the rate of the JobSeeker payment.

Ms Munday said unions wanted the JobSeeker payment to remain at the current rate inclusive of the coronavirus supplement.


"Shocking statistics for Tasmanian jobseekers were released this week that showed 39,000 Tasmanians are currently in receipt of Jobseeker or Youth Allowance with 20 workers vying for every one job that is advertised here," she said.   

"This demonstrates how far Tasmania is from recovery and how critical a liveable rate of JobSeeker will be to support Tasmanians, both now and into the future."
