Katoomba: Sharan Burrow speaks

Join ACTU president Sharan Burrow at a Rights at Work event in the Katoomba

Upper Mountains Rights at Work Community Meeting - all welcome
7.00pm, Wednesday 14th March
Katoomba Bowling Club
Dora Street, Katoomba

As you are aware, the Howard Government's new workplace laws have taken away protection from unfair dismissal, and allowed wages to be cut through the introduction of individual contracts, which can remove fundamental workplace rights such as penalty rates, shift allowances and overtime.

The most vulnerable in our community are the young Australian workers who are now forced to sit down and negotiate for their first job with an experienced employer. We can't sit back and watch over one hundred years of hard fought for rights and conditions disappear.



If you would like any further information about the event or about the Your Rights at Work Campaign, please contact
