IR Laws petition pls fax to Union office when done.pdf Download this file

The O'Farrell Govt's IR laws look to be passed next week, despite our contact with MP's and the rally's at Parliament. Our working conditions are now set to be in the hands of the Govt without appeal to the Industrial Relations Commission. It appears we will now have less workplace rights than most workers in Australia.

The entire Public Sector, incl Emergency Services, will be attending the rally next week.
