Unions are back on the agenda in a big way. In recent months airline workers, Victorian nurses, and a small group of poultry workers at Baiada in Melbourne have faced attacks on their working conditions and all have relied on their unions to defend their jobs. Large-scale sackings in the banking, airline and manufacturing sectors, with the possibility of more to come, mean that the right to organise in unions and the right to strike are more important than ever to defend our jobs and working conditions. Come along to City Square to find out more about how to join a union and how to get active as a union member. This event will include: Union information stalls; special guest speakers; discussion on unionism today; BBQ (gold coin donation); entertainment.
