Critical Senate vote - help change the law

From Dave Noonan and the Rights on Site team

Ark Tribe could soon make history as the first man jailed under a Labor Government for standing up for his rights at work.

Yet as Ark's trial draws closer Australian Senators are considering the future of the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) and its coercive powers.

The laws the Senate passes will determine whether our politicians support one law for all Australian workers, and could bring an end to construction workers being singled out for harsher penalties in their workplace.

Now, more than ever, it's important you urge Senators Fielding and Xenophon to support the abolition of the ABCC and its coercive powers to ensure Ark doesn't make history.

Tell Senator Fielding and Senator Xenphon to take a stand for rights on site.

Ark Tribe is next in court on October 30.
