Friday 31 July: Rights on Site rally

This week, the Australian Labor Party has its Conference in Sydney to decide on policies that affect the working lives of 900,000 Australian construction workers.

Thousands of construction industry jobs are at risk because of our weak economic environment. That's why we need policies that support construction workers and their jobs.

As a Rights on Site supporter, you're invited to meet up with other Rights on Site activists at our rally and lunch time forum on Friday 31 July.

Friday 31 July, 12:15 pm Meet outside Trades Hall, Dixon Lane and march to the Sydney Conference and Exhibition Centre.

Friday 31 July, 12:45 - 2:00 pm ACTU lunchtime forum, 'Jobs and Rights for Working Australians', Parkside Auditorium, Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.

We'll be asking the conference to pass a resolution in support of the Rights on Site campaign.

Construction workers deserve the same rights as all other workers. There is no place for special coercive powers in the construction industry.

Hope to see you outside Trades Hall, Dixon Lane, from 12:15pm on Friday 31 July for the Rights on Site rally and at the Parkside Auditorium, Sydney Convention Centre for the ACTU lunchtime forum from 12:45 - 2:00 pm.

Best wishes

Dave Noonan and the Rights on Site Campaign team
