Rally Wednesday June 28 - NSW details

By ACTU

Dear friend,

Show the Government what you think of their unfair IR laws. Keep the pressure on and rally nationwide on Wednesday June 28.

Sydney metro rally 9am Wed June 28
Blacktown Showground, Richmond Road, Blacktown

Newcastle rally: 10.00am, Newcastle Panthers Club, King Street, Newcastle

Bathurst rally: 12 noon, Machatti Park, Bathurst

Wollongong rally: 12 noon, Lowden Square, Wollongong

Last November hundreds of thousands of Australians took to the streets and filled community venues to show their disgust for the Howard Government's legislation.
Ignoring popular opinion, the Government used its Senate majority to ram the laws through parliament.

As petrol prices and interest rates continue to rise, the average employee got tax cuts of only $7 or $10 a week in the recent federal budget. At the same time our job security has been undermined by the new IR laws, which attack the pay and conditions we all rely on.

As we count down to the next election, a new worker, and a new family, is affected by these IR laws every day. We must show these workers our support, and show the Government that we will never forget the human impact of their radical laws. We have to show both sides of politics that Australians will fight for our rights at work.

Visit the Rights at Work website for venue details, and up-to-date factsheets about the laws affect you. Download a poster for the rally and week of action at www.rightsatwork.com.au/campaigns/weekofaction

Many thanks,

Sharan Burrow, Greg Combet,
and the Rights at Work campaign team.
