The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) is celebrating the role workers, in every industry and workplace, are playing in keeping the economy running during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, ACTU secretary Sally McManus says, the campaign recognises workers that have previously been overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also reflecting that the word \u2018worker\u2019 has taken on a new and more accurate meaning in the community in a time of crisis \u2013 for years it\u2019s effectively been code for blue collar, or for being low paid, but today it\u2019s taken on a broader meaning,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery day, alongside truck drivers, shelf stockers, and cleaners, we\u2019re hearing doctors, nurses and paramedics being described as \u2018workers\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAustralian Unions has always been for \u2018workers\u2019 in the broadest sense, and this campaign is a tribute to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign was created by The Shannon Company with production company Bordertown Films. Production on the ad started in Melbourne, however it was relocated to Queensland when Victoria\u2019s stage four restrictions came into place at the start of August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
