Sydney: thousands join May Day march

Working families from the Blue Mountains were amongst thousands who gathered in central Sydney last Sunday to send a message about the new workplace laws.

“We’re here today to protect out rights at work, which are under threat from the Howard government’s new workplace laws,“ said Blue Mountains Unions Council President, Kerry Cook, who marched beneath the Blue Mountains Unions Council banner with a score of people who travelled to the city for the day.
The Secretary of the peak council of unions across the state, John Robertson from Unions NSW, welcomed the Mountains contingent to the rally in Hyde Park.

“Working families from the mountains are joining communities across the state, all focussed on dumping these laws,” said Robertson.
