CFMEU Picket Opera House

Dear Comrades,

The CFMEU is in dispute with the management of the Sydney Opera House. In a cost cutting exercise a union contractor has been sacked and undercut in tendering by multinational United Group Services. This company has refused to employ the existing union delegate and an injured worker on site who is on light duties. Other workers including one worker, who has worked on site for 38 years including working on the construction of the Sydney Opera House, have been told they will not be employed unless they work on a non-union individual contract (AWA). .

The CFMEU is organising a picket at the Sydney Opera House 5.30 pm, Friday February 24th. We need your union flag, union activists and your support.
