New Union Solidarity Group for Yarra
|
7 pm Wednesday
July 9 Edinburgh Gardens Meeting Room St. Georges Rd, Fitzroy Refreshments will be available. Union Solidarity invites all interested people to attend a meeting to discuss the formation of a ‘grass roots’, autonomous group in the City of Yarra to pursue local industrial, social justice and environmental interests. Union Solidarity local groups are an important part of defending workers and their communities. Whilst the Howard Government is no longer in power, employers are still actively using the Workchoices legislation and other anti-union laws against workers and their unions. Welfare recipients are still struggling to survive on miniscule incomes. We believe that as a united community, we can effectively defend our communities against corporate attacks and these anti-democratic laws. more info and RSVP: 0413 597 315 Labels: Community Meeting, Yarra group |

Rally against attacks on full time jobs.
4pm Wed 25 June Australia Post Headquarters 321 Exhibition St, City As part of a grand restructuring process of mail delivery Australia Post intends to shut down three mail centres in the western suburbs of Melbourne. Not only will this mean a reduction of services in the western suburbs but an attack on working conditions of Australia Post employees. The proposed new "super centre" at Altona will be staffed by many Delivery Only (DODO's) posties who will only be allocated 4 hour shifts and received no penalty rates, a reduction of 15%. The posties union the CWU division of CEPU are requesting a that the wider union movement and the community show their support of decent services and full time employment. Please attend and proudly bring your union banners. Labels: Australia Post, Community Protest, Save our Posties |

Rally outside of court
9.30am Tues & Weds 24 & 25 June Ringwood Magistrates' Court 39 Ringwood St Ringwood The trial of Anthony Elliott, boss of Elliots' Engineering has been extended into Wednesday 25 June. Elliot is the defendant in a trial arising out of a community assembly in May 2007. Elliot faces a number of charges relating to driving a truck through a picket line.
