National Community Day of Protest: November 15

All Health Services Union members and their families are encouraged to take place in a national community day of protest over new work laws on November 15.


The day of protest will include a national hook-up of people across the country via a Sky Channel broadcast.

Members will be able to go to local venues in country and city areas to take part in what is expected to be the largest ever protest meeting in Australia.

HSU national secretary Craig Thomson said the national community day of protest was designed to allow people to express their feelings about proposed work laws which if passed by parliament would cut employment rights.

"By the time November 15 comes around the Howard Government's changes should be before parliament," he said.

"That means the day will be about informing the community about the proposed changes and sending a clear message to the Howard Government that they should be scrapped."
