Unions launch IR radio

A breakfast radio program, run by various trade unions and backed by Unions New South Wales, was launched this morning on FM 88.9 and will run from 5.30am until 9am on weekdays.

Workers Radio Sydney announcer Craig Bulley said the program would inform workers about what the planned industrial relations changes meant for them.

On Friday, the ACTU and Federal Labor lost a High Court quest for an interim injunction to have the Government's $20-million advertising campaign promoting IR reform taken off air.

The case will now go before the High Court's full bench, after Justice Dyson Heydon granted an order for an expeditious hearing.
