Rally outside of ABCC hearing in Portland
|
12.30pm sharp!
Mon 24 July and Tues 25 July Portland Court House Cliff St, Portland The Australian Building and Construction Commissioner (ABCC) with all the subtly of the Spanish Inquisition is rolling into Portland. Two union members are going to be "interviewed" by the ABCC (AWU and AMWU). Under the act the ABCC has the power to compel unionists to give evidence with no right of silence or protection against self-incrimination. It is an offence to disclose the contents of the examination and failure to comply with the ABCC can result in a 6 months jail term. Henry Lawson famously wrote "when a man is jailed for striking it's a rich man's country yet". In John Howard's Australia we can add "when a worker is jailed for talking it's a rich man's country still". We must protest against this fundamental attack on our human rights. more info: Mark 0427 013 186 | South West Community Solidarity | What's wrong with the ABCC | CFMEU Pocket guide to the ABCC | ABCC compliance orders Labels: Community Protest |
