Centre for Future Work at #ACTUCongress18
Trade unionists from across Australia are gathering in Brisbane this week for the 2018 Congress of the Australian Council of Trade Unions. And the Centre for Future Work will be there!
Come and check out our information booth in the exhibitors’ area: meet our staff, learn more about our work, and sign up for updates.
Our Director Jim Stanford will be presenting as part of a session on The Future of Work (good title!), Tuesday July 17 at 2:15 pm in conference room P1.
And we will be distributing copies of a brochure with links to some of our most recent research (attached below).
We are glad that our research can support the campaign to #ChangeTheRules!
