Melbourne: Union Solidarity -- community unionism

We Stand Together!

Union Solidarity has only one reason to exist: to show no strings attached solidarity to unions and communities taking action in opposition to the Howard Government attacks on our rights. So far there are 8 local organisation covering the North, Northwest, West, South Eastern and Melbourne Central. More groups are being established all the time. The Melbourne Central group exists to resource the locals as they grow.

Helping unions and communities.
Each local is free to organise the appropriate response in their own area including.
  • Public Meetings to facilitate community concerns
  • Building new local branches across Melbourne suburbs and Victorian regions
  • Support unions taking action against wrongful dismissal in our neighbourhoods
  • Fundraising to keep the information flowing
  • Letterboxing in local areas
  • Building union and community local media profile
  • Providing resources such as food and shelter for picket lines
  • Acting as one link between communities, unions, Vic Trades Hall and the ACTU
