The Greens have won workers the right to disconnect – to put your phone down, screen your boss, and ignore work emails when you’re not on shift.
Your boss shouldn’t be able to contact you 24/7 if you’re not
being paid for it. We know it’s bad for stress, health, & relationships – which is why France and over 20 other countries have written laws to protect work-life balance.But this big change the Greens have secured in the workplace reforms mean you’ll be able to ignore the texts and calls from your boss or workplace, and you can’t get in strife for doing so – unless you’re paid to be on call.
We’re in Parliament to fight for workers, and by winning workers a right to disconnect, we’ve have reclaimed the weekend for the millions of people who need that time off.
