Help wanted

WESTERN SUBURBS UNIONS & COMMUNITY COALITION

Dear all,

REMINDER: Next meeting of the group Wednesday, 19 October, 6.00pm-8.00pm, in Meeting Room 1, Maribyrnong Town Hall, Hyde Street, Footscray. Entry at Hyde street, via car park rear of Town Hall. Look out for direction signs.

URGENT HELP NEEDED: Information stalls and leaflet hand outs in the lead up to the ACTU co-ordinated 15th November national community protest rally.

The government's draconian agenda to attack working people, unions and communities has been confirmed. It will set the clock back more than 150 years to early 19th century before workers were organised in unions and had any workplace rights to defend themselves against ruthless exploitation and suppression.

The Western Suburbs Unions and Community Coalition is working towards building a massive national day of protest on 15th November. We've had successful information stalls and leaflet hand outs in the west, some organised jointly with the AMWU. But we need many more to assist with leaflet hand outs at shopping centres and railway stations over next four weeks.

Please help by assisting at one of the following community leaflet hand outs:

Saturday 22 November - Yarraville shopping centre 9.00 am - 1.00 pm

Saturday, 5 November - Footscray mall 9.00 am - 1.00pm
Newport 9.00 am - 1.00pm
Williamstown 9.00 am - 1.00 pm

Saturday, 12 November Highpoint shopping centre - details to follow.

Leaflet hand outs at railway stations on the mornings of 9, 10, 11 and 14 November.

If you can help at one (or more) of the above please contact us: Shirley 0417 456 001, Justin 0417 896 297, Bill 0405 166 252 or Billy 97489959.

Building local campaign for the National Day of Community Protest against the IR laws on 15th November.

It's time to build a powerful and broad people's movement to oppose the draconian IR laws. Organise to stop the assault on rights and conditions of workers, families and communities.

The Western Suburbs Unions and Community Coalition is organising a range of activities to inform and mobilise the local community and workers for the Tuesday, 15th November rally. These include community Information stalls in local shopping centres and leaflet handouts at main railway stations in the west. See details below.

A WSUCC contingent will also be marching together behind our banner on 15th November. Local residents and workers not participating with a union are encouraged to travel with the WSUCC contingent. We will meet at 8.55am, Platform No. 1, Footscray Station, to travel on the 9.01am train to Flinders street.
