Put down the phone: your right to disconnect

Should employers respect a worker’s right to disconnect? The age of mobile phones and the internet means we’re connected more than ever. We’re basically available 24/7. Should workers retain the right to disconnect once their work day is done? A growing movement, called 'right to disconnect' is urging employers to respect a worker’s right to their own downtime.

We’re joined by a Queensland teacher and Greens Senator Barbara Pocock. Before she was elected earlier this year, she was worked at the University of South Austrlalia and wrote several books on work/life balance.

In this episode of the Briefing we explore the growing movement to enable staff to say ‘enough’s enough’ and to turn off their phones in their own time.

Headlines:

- Nationals will not support Indigenous Voice
- $50m fines for companies over data breaches
- RBA boss apologises for wrong advice
- Australia’s terror threat reduced
- WHO renames monkeypox over racism concerns
