The Unemployed Peoples Embassy is proposing the formation of a Union for jobess being forced to leave the main cities and try and live on sporatic casual work in agriculture and regional tourism. There is said to be some casual "hospitality" work in the cities - but the Dole is now back under the Poverty Live - with the Covid subsidy (Job Search allowance) now cancelled.
"The main cities in Australia are now just unliveable for the jobless - since residential rents are so high. Even regional city rents are too high for the Dole - plus lack of rental as people flee the major cities to get away from Covid." says he Embassy's CEO. The NOMAD WORKERS UNION (NWU) idea is inspired by the Academy winning movie Nomadland - where the mainly middle aged and older jobless in America roaming the mid-West chasing temporary jobs from the new Forist corporations like Amazon.
With wider Union backing, the homeless unemployed could force agricultural and tourism businesses to start paying proper rates for casual workers. These jobless could be the new Swag Men (and women) living out of their cars and vans. Donations of second hand vans could help such life on the road easier - with better sleeping accomodation. and cooking facIlities. Of course - such marginal workers would have their Dole concelled for supposedy moving to areas in the regions - deemed to be of lesser employment prospects, under the insane 'Hippie Dole Law", first brought in by (you guessed it). The LABOR PARTY.
