💬 Voices from the Reckoning Room
“Made from sheer anger and the goddamn audacity…”
Featuring: Sarah Gleeson | Injured Worker, Advocate, Creator
“This is my voice in this video. I was not comfortable speaking up. But I did, because those who were advocating for vulnerable people could not… in a system that silences workers.”
• Sarah Gleeson
This week’s Reckoning Room feature is not just a story, it’s a stand.
A voiceover recorded on a quiet weekend.
A passion project fuelled by betrayal and bravery.
A message too urgent to ignore.
Sarah Gleeson, a fellow injured union worker and fearless collaborator, shared this deeply personal reflection on LinkedIn, and it deserves a place here, among those refusing to stay silent.
“It was the stories of those workers that were the real life, and a game-changer.”
Born out of anger and resilience, Sarah’s voice carries the weight of so many others gagged by the very institutions tasked with protecting the vulnerable. Health systems. The NDIS. The NDIA. All part of a larger machine that buries truth beneath bureaucracy - offering, as she puts it, “a piece of coal as peace offer.”
She asked the right questions. Of Chris Minns. Of Anthony Albanese. Of anyone with the power to protect the vulnerable and instead chooses silence:
How are you planning on keeping our most vulnerable safe if you gag their workers?
This is solidarity in motion.
This is what a reckoning looks like.
