Spotlight on the Fair Work Bill

The Electrical Trades Union has steadfastly opposed the Rudd Government's Fair Work Bill. under this legislation right of entry is still treated as a privilege rather than a right, secret ballots remain, the right to strike is compromised by legal red tape, the ABCC rides over worker rights, under a new name and if you work in a business with less than 15 employees you can still be sacked without recourse.

So whilst it was all glitz and smoke and mirrors at the ALP national conference, the reality for workers is almost as grim as it was under John Howard.

ETU secretary Dean Mighell will be joined by Dan Archer (Victorian Young Unionists Network) and Kirk Leonard (UNITE) in a discussion about what happened to our Rights at Work.

 Dean assures us that he will test his dancing skills when the hip-hop rolls!

 A night for all ETU members, with entry by donation
