You can help at your workplace, by attending union meetings and even ringing the union and volunteering to assist in the office. Our union has many problems with proposed workers compensation changes announced by the Minister for Industrial Relations, John Della Bosca, in late March. A major union campaign against proposed workers compensation changes has already forced an initial backdown by the NSW Government. In one shocking 48-hour period in Sydney in March, one worker was killed, a young man was permanently disabled and another worker broke his pelvis. These are just three of many recent accidents happening in Sydney and elsewhere around Australia.
Unity goes behind the scenes and asks what went wrong.
