Sally is the first woman to hold the position of Secretary since the ACTU’s creation in 1927. Sally is a strong leader and brings people together across many industries and levels, from the Prime Minister to shop floor workers and everything in between.

In this public lecture, Sally will present on the critical role that unions have in creating decent work conditions for all workers.
