Welcome to Blue Mountains Unions & Community.

Welcome to Blue Mountains Unions & Community.

In the late 1980s BMUC was formed by Blue Mountains activists from different unions as a community organisation to "advance unionism, living standards, social justice and employment" in the Blue Mountains.

In August 1997 the BMUC was incorporated in NSW under the Associations Incorporation Act 1984 (reg: Y2665505)

Politics in the Pub - Free or Fair Trade?

Saturday 3rd August 2019 from 3pm to 5pm

at the Family Hotel, Katoomba

Secrecy is the enemy of fairness.

Australia's environmental, labour, and health and safety laws are threatened by a free trade agreement, the RCEP, currently being negotiated between Australia, New Zealand, China, India, South Korea and the ten member countries of ASEAN - about half of the world's population. How can we ensure trade is globally fair, safe and environmentally friendly?

Speakers:
Dr Pat Ranald Convenor Australian Fair Trade and Investment Network (AFTINET) & Research Fellow, University of Sydney. 

Alison Rahill Executive Officer, Anti-Slavery Taskforce, Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney.

Previously advertised speaker Anna Spoore is unable to attend.
