The union representing textile clothing and footwear (TCF) workers in Australia is calling on Border Force to lift their game to stop Australia from being flooded with dodgy medical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
An overnight report on a leak from an anonymous law enforcement official claiming that hundreds of thousands of dodgy masks started arriving in Australia three weeks ago is alarming.
This revelation follows reports of a global spike in the production of fake PPE products mislabelled with brand names of well-known medical supply companies.

Employers, industry groups and the Construction Forestry Maritime Mining and Energy Union have co-funded a TV advertisement to thank workers in the timber industry who performed and are performing vital work to protect homes and lives during the recent and current bushfires.
The commercial features stunning footage taken by a forestry worker as he and his workmates cleared a containment line in regional Victoria. It will air for two weeks across all major networks and be supported by an expansive social media campaign.

Victoria’s timber industry is the lifeblood of many regional towns and communities. But did you know that timber workers also help to keep us safe during bushfires?
During the recent bushfires, workers from across the timber industry provided their equipment, expertise and skills to clear containment lines and remove dangerous trees. One of these workers captured some incredible footage of this vital work - and we’re putting it on TV to make sure all of Victoria knows.
