Fight for our Rights National Protest March 4th
The Australian union movement is calling on its members to take part in a national day of action on 4 March to highlight the threats to working people posed by the Abbott government and its supporters.
Union members and their families and friends need to show they oppose attempts to cut penalty rates, reduce the minimum wage and water down workplace protections such as unfair dismissal laws.
And we can’t stand by while the Abbott Government destroys our living standards by:
- slashing Medicare and hiking up the cost to see a doctor,
- introducing $100,000 university degrees,
- cutting the pension and superannuation,
- implementing harsh changes to unemployment benefits, and
- cutting community services that support our most vulnerable.
The CWU urges its members to participate in this day of action, Contact your state branch or your state Trades and Labour Council to find out what activities are being held in your state.
Rally details are as follows:
