A new union for fast food and retail workers
|
A new union for fast food and retail workers has been launched in Melbourne. The union grew out of the UNITE campaign for casual workers rights. This is the most exciting development in the fight back for young workers rights in many, many years.
UNITE first started in 2003 as an organisation fighting for low paid and casual workers. Its most notable campaigns were the ‘name and shame’ campaign on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy and the campaign to unionise Boarders Books on Lygon Street in Carlton. more info: UNITE 03 9639 9111 | info@unite.org.au | http://www.unite.org.au |
