Dear Comrades,

At its meeting of 16 April, the Australian Bureau of Statistics Central Office Subsection Delegates Committee unanimously decided to send you the following message of support. Please accept our apologies for the delay in sending it.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics Central Office Subsection Delegates Committee congratulates the striking AMWU members at Boeing in Fisherman's Bend for your courageous stand in taking industrial action in support of workmates sacked in violation of the EBA. Mutual support is the fundamental principal of the labour movement and it is
encouraging to witness workers who still put this into practice. Your action sets an example for us all.

An injury to one is an injury to all!

In solidarity,
Pierre Sibilant, Secretary
