With the NSW Liberal Government, under Barry O'Farrell, now refusing to lift the restrictions on the rights of public sector workers in NSW, it's time to step up the campaign.

NSW firefighters, delegates, and union Officials have joined dozens of community rallies, as well as meetings with MP's and local councils.

The next step is the 2nd major rally to be held at NSW Parliament, by NSW Unions, public sector workers, and community members.

Thursday September 8, 2011 is the day!

The following is information for NSW firefighters. All Union members are encouraged to ask their local reps about the day.

For NSW firefighters / FBEU members:

1. FBEU Assemble St Mary's Cathedral/Square 1130hrs (Other Unions meeting at Domain)
2. FBEU Speeches then march to Parliament 1200hrs (Meet with other Unions)
3. Parliament Speeches main Rally 1200-1230hrs
3. All Unions march back to Hyde Park 1230hrs

Appliances to park in College St again.

More info will come through FBEU weekly SITREP – no confirmation on any form of stop work at this stage. Any change to this, or the info above, will be notified through normal channels, including SITREP and the union forum.

This will be bigger than the last one (which was approx 10,000 people), at least 2-3 times that size expected.

Please support, bring your family, bring your station crew.

Please contact your sub-branch rep (details on www.fbeu.net) or Hugh Clouston in the Union office for more info.

Main organiser and media contact for the event is UnionsNSW  – http://www.unionsnsw.org.au/
