Western Australia's government has agreed to a historic $180.4 million settlement to address the decades-long injustice of wages stolen from thousands of Aboriginal workers between 1936 and 1972. So where and how were wages stolen, who stole them and what is being done about it now?

The WA Government has settled a class action for Stolen Wages on behalf of thousands of Aboriginal Australians who worked in Western Australia and were paid little or no wages, while they were subject to legislation in effect from 1936 to 1972. As part of the historic class action settlement, Western Australia will pay up to $180.4 million to eligible Aboriginal workers or their surviving spouses and children. The WA will also issue a public acknowledgement and apology in its Parliament to the surviving and deceased Aboriginal workers on 28 November 2023.

Ex-stockmen in the Kimberley say they are relieved to have the acknowledgement

Wage theft — employers paying less than the minimum for time worked — is believed to be extremely common across the U.S. Often, rules against it are hard to enforce. We’ll visit one county that’s tackling the issue by putting food permits on the line for restaurant owners who won’t pay up. Plus, Google has new political advertising AI rules and 74 million Americans will gamble on NFL games this season.

Our favorite circus was in town last week: the Republican primary debate! We discuss the performance of some of the candidates and who DEFINITELY did debate club in high school. The NY Department of Labor has failed to recover $79 million in stolen wages.

She also discusses modern forms of slave labour in prisons, and why she is voting "No" to the proposed Voice to Parliament. Next up on the program, Marisa interviews Kieran Stewart-Assheton, Wani Wandian man and President of the Black Peoples Union, about the atrocious history of slavery and forced labour of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in this country, and how the dehumanisation of Indigenous people which began before Australia's Federation continues to benefit state and private interests. He provides a comprehensive history, including of Queensland's links to the US slave trade, to indentured servitude, and now in the form of Stolen Wages and prison labour. Marisa ends up the show by reading a statement on the origins of May Day, by the Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group.

What would you do if your wages were stolen? What if you were new to Canada and your immigration status depended on that employment? The folks within the Naujawan Support Network (NSN) in Peel are self-organizing to get those wages back and to better protect workers in their community. Their tactics are bold. They go after bad bosses - naming and shaming them in very public ways. Simran and Arin of NSN Peel teach host Jessa McLean about the resistance that exists within workers, and how they persevere in the face of lawsuits while fighting for what they're owed.

Avustralya Yerli halkina mensup işçiler ve onların soyundan gelenler bugün çalınan ücretlerini geri almak için tarihi bir toplu dava açtılar.
