March 29 Victorian Delegates Meeting
![]() ![]() ![]() Victorian union delegates and shop stewards rallied in Melbourne on Wednesday 29 March to plan the next steps in the fight against the Howard Government’s IR laws. Over 4,000 unionists attended a VTHC delegates and shop stewards’ rally at Dallas Brooks Hall to ratify a resolution that condemned Howard’s IR laws and called for a mass mobilisation of Victorian workers at the next national day of protest set down for June 28. After the meeting union leaders led a march through the city to Australia Post to show solidarity with union delegate, Peter Vining, from the CEPU-Postal Division who has been the target of workplace intimidation. The rally then brought parts of central Melbourne to a standstill as they marched to Liberal Party headquarters in Exhibition St where union leaders burned a copy of the new Federal IR Bill. ACTU President, Sharan Burrow, promised to “light a fire in the emotions of everyone all around the country. This is no a fight about a decent Australia.” more | copy of resolution passed at meeting. ![]() Labels: Community Protest, IR Laws, Peter Vining |
