Workers Radio Sydney is a new trade union radio program broadcasting 5.30-9am Monday to Friday on 88.9 FM.

Trade unions, including the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union, the Maritime Union of Australia, the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union, the Transport Workers Union, the Australian Services Union, the Public Service Association, the National Union of Workers and the Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Union, together with progressive community organisations, have established the radio program.

The mass media in Australia is owned by the rich and powerful. Packer and Murdoch ensure that their control of the media does not jeopardise their power and wealth. This is why the workers and the people need a voice. The aim of the radio broadcast is to promote trade unionism and broader community struggles for peace, social justice and workers’ rights.
