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
