Summary

This week on Stick Together we catch up with Martin Stewart, president of the Blind Workers Union of Victoria to check in on the vision-impaired workers sacked by Vision Australia from their warehouse last year. We find out about the impact of that decision on those workers and on the union and discuss what workplace justice looks like for workers in disability enterprises. That's coming up later on in the program. First up though, Kairsty Wilson from the Australian Employees with Disability legal service about the discriminatory use of wage assessment tools to determine how much beneath the award wage some people with disabilities will be paid.
