Melbourne Protest Against Kevin Andrews
|
A noisy protest (Thurs 5 Oct) was organised outside the new headquarters of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission in Melbourne on Thursday. Federal IR Minister Kevin Andrews was attending a function to officially open the new building. Members of UNITE, the AMWU, CWU, MUA, ASU, ANF and the YUN joined community groups like Union Solidarity to give Kevin Andrews a rowdy reception.
About 70 people gathered to hear impromptu speeches and let Andrews, and his big business mates, know that neither he nor his IR laws were welcome. In a typical cowardly fashion Andrews snuck in a back door to avoid having to face the noisy protest. more info: www.unite.org.au Labels: Community Protest |
