Following from the recent decision to cut penalty rates for some of Australia’s lowest paid workers, a number of unions have called for a major rally in Melbourne for this coming Thursday.
Unions in the construction industry are spearheading this fightback as they have been specifically targeted by anti union laws – referred to as the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC). These laws are aimed to weaken workers ability to organise on the job, will reduce pay and conditions, and will result in more accidents and deaths at the workplace.
10.30am on Thursday 9 March – Victorian Trades Hall, Corner Victoria and Lygon Streets Carlton
