The next major activity for the Northern Suburbs Union & Community Solidarity Group
will be publicising the big union protest at the MCG ("Fill the 'G") on Thursday 30
November.

It is critical that we have a massive turnout on the day, to demonstrate that the overwhelming majority of Australians still oppose the anti-worker laws.

We will be aiming to leaflet train stations (Broadmeadows, Glenroy, Upfield, Gowrie / Fawkner, Essendon & Craigieburn) in the mornings or afternoons in the lead-up to November 30.

Some of the other Union Solidarity groups are also planning to leaflet some of the bigger polling booths on the day of the state elections (Saturday 25 November). Our next meeting will plan which polling booths that our group will cover on the day.

If you want to help out with publicity but can't do any of these things, give Wayne a ring on 0438-304-326.

Next meeting
WEDNESDAY 6PM
15 NOVEMBER
1100 Pascoe Vale Rd, Broadmeadows
(near train station)

Other News
A new union/community solidarity group in Western Australia, the Peel
Community Solidarity Group, had just had its first successful action outside the massive Alcoa plant at Pinjarra in WA on 1 & 2 November.

Alcoa had canelled a building firm's contract and employed a new contractor which indicated that it would only reemploy the workers if they signed AWAs.

The community assembly held a mass meeting in the middle of the road, resulting in a traffic gridlock around the plant for up to 10 kilometres.
