Let Bass and Flinders know that WorkChoices is dead and we will not tolerate attacks of this sort on workers.<BR/><BR/>Time and Place: Circular Quay 6am-10am | 2pm-6pm<BR/>Date: Wednesday, February 11<BR/><BR/>Actions will continue until a positive result is achieved.<BR/><BR/>Your solidarity and support is appreciated.Red Wombathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744776958733427709noreply@blogger.com
