12pm – Penrith Rally for your rights
Tuesday 12th July
Penrith
Assemble 12 midday at between Dame Joan Sutherland Centre and Heritage Cafe Penrith
Contact – Mary Yaager (UNSW) NW Exec (FBEU)

In local communities all over NSW, people are standing up against the O’Farrell Government’s “NSW WorkChoices” legislation.

In order to fight the O’Farrell Government’s unfair laws that leave NSW public sector workers, including nurses, teachers, and firefighters, with the least rights of any workers in the country.
The O’Farrell Government’s laws take away workplace rights from 400,000 NSW public sector workers. If they get away with it, all of our rights at work will be under attack.

Every single condition of employment for every public sector worker in NSW is up for grabs.

Between 2005 and 2007 we defeated John Howard’s ‘WorkChoices’ legislation but we only did this by campaigning together.

To defeat this new attack on workplace rights we once again need to work together.

Assemble at 12 midday between Dame Joan Sutherland Centre and Heritage Cafe Penrith
