Passing of Tommy Rice

Just recently staunch unionist and Irishman Tommy Rice passed away in his sleep at the age of 50.

Tommy was not scared of the bosses and authority and would stay on picketlines 24 hours a day for weeks on ends.

He was a Painter for the CFMEU and would spend weeks out of work as he was blacklisted for being such a good unionist. He always stood up what he believed right.

Tommy will be sadly missed especially at this time in history with the attack on the Trade Union movement. We need more comrades like him.
