That’s why it’s important to fight for the penalty pay rates that compensate workers who miss out on these important times.
Sadly, weekend pay rates are under attack from LNP governments at the state and federal level.
Help save weekend pay rates by coming along to a rally outside the office of LNP State MP David Crisafulli at 11.30am on Friday 8 August, at 198 Nathan St Aitkenvale.
For those people who serve us in restaurants, fill our prescriptions, keep our streets safe, care for our elderly and drive our ambulances, weekends are often just another work day.
For some north Queensland workers, this extra pay is all that keeps food on the family table. That’s why Australian unions have been holding campaign activities around north Queensland.
If you or your family or friends have to work on weekends, you will know what you give up. That’s why we need to keep weekend pay rates as fair reward for your sacrifice.
If you can't make it to the rally you can still help the campaign by signing this online petition, or by sharing your thoughts or a message on Facebook .
With your support, we can show the LNP we need these conditions and will fight for them.

If you can't make it there this Friday, be sure to let friends and family know... may be they can.
Rumour has it that the Newman government are finally listening... this is a great chance to be heard.
