CFMEU: year in review

2011 will be an important year for workers’ rights and safety.

Labor has said it will reintroduce its previous legislation, which abolished the ABCC, but retains coercive powers. This will not achieve one law for all.

The Greens will hold the balance of power in the Senate from 1st July- their position on the ABCC and coercive powers is well known- they oppose both.

Rights on Site will be providing information and community feedback to all federal parliamentarians in 2011 to convince them that discriminatory and unfair laws have no place in Australia and that their priority should be improving safety in the industry.

It promises to be an eventful year. And we need you to be there with us every step of the way.

Let’s start by getting our petition to abolish the ABCC up to 10,000 names.
