Fix WorkCover demonstration
|
10.45 am for 11am start
Monday 25 August Victorian WorkCover Authority 222 Exhibition Street Melbourne The Victorian Trades Hall Council WorkCover Committee has, with the endorsement of Secretary Brian Boyd, called a protest demonstration against the Victorian WorkCover Authority over a secret plan to implement the Hanks Review recommendations. The VTHC has a copy of an internal VWA document that details the time table for the drawing up of legislation and its introduction into Parliament of changes based on the Hanks Review recommendations. The document was prepared months before the Hanks Recommendations were finalised. Affiliates are urged to encourage attendance at the protest and to visit the Fix WorkCover Campaign web site at www.fixworkcover.org where they can send a letter supporting the VTHC's campaign to state ALP MPs. more info: www.fixworkcover.org | www.vthc.org.au Labels: Community Protest, Fix WorkCover, WorkCover |

Climate Code Red: The Case for Emergency Action
 An evening with author David Spratt6 for 6:30pm Thursday 14 August Bella Union Bar Trades Hall Cnr Victoria & Lygon Sts, Carlton At the recent launch of Climate Code Red, Victorian Governor David de Kretser read out a quotation from George Monbiot which features in the book: “When you warn people about the dangers of climate change, they call you a saint. When you explain what needs to be done to stop it, they call you a communist …everyone is watching and waiting for everyone else to move.” David Spratt and Philip Sutton’s book clearly demonstrates that global climate change requires radical action – by government and by all of us – to avoid complete environmental meltdown. So what is the next step? The New International Bookshop invites all unions, activist groups, community sector organizations and concerned individuals to this important discussion of the way forward on climate change.
