Lyndal Ryan, ACT Secretary of United Voice, addressed the Vintage Reds October meeting, on the issue of “Penalty Rates”.
United Voice represents workers in cleaning and security, childcare, aged care, higher education, hospitals and clubs, leisure and hotels. Its history goes back to the Watchmen, Caretakers & Cleaners’ Union of 1910, and more recently the Liquor, Hospitality & Miscellaneous Workers Union (LHMU or “Missos”), formed by amalgamation in 1992. So it’s celebrating a hundred years of looking after workers’ interests.
