SYDNEY — On July 12, 100 people picketed John Howard as he arrived to address a meeting in the Blacktown Workers Club. The action, organised by Unions NSW to protest against the Work Choices laws, was attended by members of the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union, the NSW Teachers Federation, the Financial Services Union, the Greens and the Socialist Alliance.
