Speak out against the powers of the ABCC in Perth on October 31st

"The laws they have at their disposal have no

place in a so called democratic society like

Australia and they use those laws freely to go

after ordinary workers

Fellow worker, Noel Washington is under threat

of going to prison because he will not go before

a commission where he loses:

 

His right to not answer questions

His right to choose his lawyer

Axe the ABCC!

Fellow Workers,

Some in our class are being treated like criminals if they engage in actions of solidarity.  In response, we should show solidarity with them.   You'll find a pdf file attached here which you can print out and circulate.

Classwide unity trumps narrow, individualist alienation.

Now that Labor is in...

Now that Labor is in government, what do you plan to do to further the creation classwide unionism?

Do you promote organisation on the Internet?

Do you ask workers whether they want to join the IWW?

Nothing will happen, if you don't make it happen.

More Amcor plants walkout in solidarity

Yesterday [Wed 9 August] two more Amcor plants walked out in solidarity
with striking workers at Amcor Flexibles in Preston. A total of 11
Amcor sites across Australia have taken solidarity strike action over
Tuesday and Wednesday. Amcor workers from West Heidelberg visited the
picketline at Preston after walking out.

Building workers from the Laverton power station site visited the
picket and donated $3,000. Commitment to donate funds has also been
expressed from other Amcor sites.

Negotiations continued throughout Wednesday and the outcome of the

Union Solidarity Meeting (Melb)

Dear Friends,

Please note that Union Solidarity is having a Planning day on Saturday
12th August 10:00am - 4:00pm.
Your participation in the day will be an important contribution to the
major struggles of Australian workers which lay ahead.
Please consider attending for all or part of the day; the exchange of
your ideas around the practical, infrastructural ways in which we can
show solidarity will be of benefit to all of us.

Please circulate widely for a successful day.

Thank you,
comradely yours, Dave Kerin
