Access to breakrooms for housekeepers

AHS Housekeeping union workers were unfairly advised that they were not allowed to access any breakroom. Those who were housekeepers employed by Crown before Crown sold out their jobs to a contract service fought for the right to still be treated as EBA staff even under their new employers, and so they are owed a meal swipe. Without warning those staff had their meal swipes taken away.

Union workers immediately informed organisers, and within 12 hours the issue was fixed. All staff at Crown deserve to be treated with respect and dignity – accidents like this should not be happening.

SURVIVING COVID

Major casino operators Crown and The Star were some of the first companies to agree to paid pandemic leave. We also won two weeks pay for many casino workers who were stood down.
Casino workers also won employer hardship funds and payments totalling millions of dollars for workers not eligible for the government wage subsidy, or experiencing other hardships.
During the year we kept the union together and strong while casinos were shut, and pivoted quickly to helping members with the practical support they needed in a crisis, e.g. help navigating Centrelink, information on financial assistance, mortgage/rent deferrals and more.
Amidst the COVID pandemic, we were able to secure a commitment from both The Star and Crown to end indoor smoking across all casinos by 2023.
And we started building the union at the new Crown Sydney casino – there are only a couple hundred workers there at the moment, but already two out of every three are UWU members.
