The landslide re-election of the Albanese Labor government has provoked a significant debate within the labour movement about what a more ambitious economic reform agenda would look like.
To mark five decades since the end of post-war full employment, Unionists for a Job Guarantee (UfJG) is hosting a free public forum to reflect on this momentous shift and the future of full employment policy making in Australia.
We are thrilled to announce that the event will feature speeches by:
- Desiree Cai, Tomorrow Movement
- Emma Dawson, Chifley Research Centre
- Dr. Carina Garland MP, Australian Labor Party
- Tim Kennedy, United Workers Union
- Colin Long, Victorian Trades Hall Council / Unionists for a Job Guarantee
- Prof. William Mitchell, Centre of Full Employment and Equity
Please join our fantastic line-up of speakers as they reflect on a New Economic Vision for the Labour Movement.
