ABOLISH THE ABCC

Construction workers are being harassed by the ABCC, over efforts to fix safety problems on jobs.

Ark Tribe is a rigger and rank and file member of the CFMEU in South Australia. He was working on the Hindmarsh job at Flinders University when a safety dispute arose last year.

Ark was summoned for questioning by the ABCC.

The ABCC has now decided to charge Ark with an offence of failing to attend the interview at the appointed time.

Ark has to front court to defend the unreasonable charges.

If he has had done something wrong, he is prepared to cop it, but he will not be treated unfairly.

Ark Tribe is to face court of the 30^th October 2009 for the third time. If found guilty of not subjecting himself to the ABCC’s interrogations, Ark can find himself in jail for six months.

Demand an end to Federal Government laws that undermine safety and stop unions from looking after their members.
