HR is NOT your friend"

Australian Unions (ACTU) have shared this headline, where a former Vice President of Microsoft warns that HR is rarely the best place for workers to turn to for help.
In fact, he goes even further: "Do not see your team's HR representative as a friend. It's easy to see them as one — they're right there, they are a people person, and they will listen. But, simply put, HR is not your friend."

The reason for this is simple: HR is a paid by the company to solve problems for the company, not to solve problems for employees.

So where should workers turn to if they do need support or information?

Unions.
Unions are completely independent and work solely in the interests of members.

No one plans for things to go wrong at work, so that's why it's reassuring for union members to know they have access to the best employment legal advice, as well as support and information about workplace rights.

Australian Unions also provides a free information helpline, available to all workers. So if you're not yet a union member, you can still give the Australian Unions Support Centre a call on 1300 486 466.

Join today with almost two million other workers become a union member.

Whether you have tough questions you need answering or you’re ready to take action, your union is the first source of information about your wages and working rights. This is what we do – day in, day out – so you can trust your union to give you the right information at the right time.

Great letter and so true in politics today. Slight of hand.

More support for our nurses in today’s Mercury.

Sadly TasTAFE CEO won't address wage theft under his watch at TasTAFE so it's up to the union to fight for new staff. Same work, same pay is a basic right and a fundamental principle to building a harmonious workplace culture.

Proud to stand with Tasmania’s nurses and midwives who have worked tirelessly and deserve much better conditions!

It is pleasing that the State Service has acknowledged its failings against workers and apologised for this serious error of judgment.

As the AEU’s Lifting Learning campaign continues, we will be standing up for our students, schools, colleges and working conditions and it’s critical the Government acts in good faith to fix public education issues instead of attacking members taking fair and reasonable action.

Compare the pair. 1 month ago these similar government jobs paid the same. Now, working at Tas TAFE will cost you a 15% cut in pay ( and have you working more hours per week) and a loss of employment working conditions.

Plus, you are no longer a state service employee.

In a highly competitive jobs market place, sending a disrespectful message to potential employees seems like madness.
