Geelong Protest Against Reducing Safety Laws




A 1000 workers marched today in Geelong to tell local State and Federal Politicians that reducing Safety Laws will not be accepted in Victoria. The march was made up of mainly construction and manufacturing workers from the CFMEU, AMWU, ETU, PTEU, with strong representations from the UFU, MUA, also the ANF, AWU, CPSU (SPSF) AEU (TAFE), ASU, TCFUA and HSU.

Resolutions were passed calling on the GTHC to hold a mass delegates meeting on
Tuesday 15 September 2009 at 4.00pm for a report back on the campaign.

Thanks to all who helped today – hopefully this is the beginning of another successful campaign – workers lives are too important for anything less.

Yours in Solidarity
