UnionsWA recently launched a petition to the state government to reverse cuts to WorkSafeWA.
As part of the 2015 WA State Budget, the Barnett Government has cut staff within WorkSafe, the principal occupation safety and health agency in WA. WorkSafe is responsible for investigations into work accidents and fatalities as well as monitoring breaches to work health and safety laws to prevent accidents and fatalities.
Background to the cuts can be found here: http://www.unionswa.com.au/worksafe_campaign

We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work. We wish to pay respect to their Elders - past, present and future - and acknowledge the important role all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within Australia. We stand in solidarity.
