Vaccinations are Australia’s pathway out of lockdowns - Australianunions.org.au/getvaxxed

 

As Australia finds itself in an arm wrestle to halt the march of COVID19 infections that are ravages communities across the country, cleaners are putting themselves at risk on a daily basis to help stop the spread.

It's tough, relentless, demanding and vital work. On todays pod, we meet one such cleaner, Arou Akot.

Arou cleans schools in Sydney's western suburbs where the virus is running rampant. His work has had a major impact on his health.

We also meet Alex Morales, an organiser with the United Workers Union. Alex represents thousands of cleaners across Sydney who are vital to the fight against COVID19, but who are also putting themselves on the line every time they go to work.
