Scrap the ABCC!

Sam Wainwright, Perth

1 November 2008

On October 31, 50 people gathered outside the offices of the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations to protest against the powers of the Australian Building and Construction Commission.

Speakers at the action, organised by Community Solidarity, were required to step into a “Guantanamo Bay” cage to dramatise how any worker questioned by the ABCC is stripped of their civil rights.
