That defiance began yesterday when, according to the ACTU secretary, Greg Combet, 600,000 people nationwide took to the streets to protest against the changes. And more is to come. Mr Combet said union members and their leaders would refuse to pay fines for illegal industrial activity and a spokesman for Unions NSW said some officials had already begun divesting themselves of assets to avoid penalties. "As a union leader let me make this clear, I will not pay a $33,000 fine for asking for people to be treated fairly," Mr Combet told protesters from a satellite uplink. "I will be asking other union leaders to do the same."
