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 |
