"It must be true... it's in the papers!" Building Workers And The Press:
160 Years Of Anti-Union Propaganda. by Paul True
AVAILABLE NOW - ONLY $6 - Post & Packing included.
"A brilliant booklet exposing the true class nature of Australia's newspaper
ownership and control, and the consistent hostility to every worker's hard
fought gain. A 'must-read'..."
Jack Mundey: former leader NSW Builders Labourers Federation
"A most valuable booklet... thorough research... a most important insight
into a side of Australian history that we hear little about. There are
many startling examples in this book. The book reveals a degree of bias and
malice that is deeply disturbing."
"But the booklet is also very inspiring. It reminds us of the struggles of
workers, the alliances that they formed, and helps to strengthen our resolve
to campaign for workers' rights in alliance with unions and the many other
groups that are part of the combined progressive struggle across Australia
today. I recommend the booklet to all members."
Lee Rhiannon: Greens MLC in a speech in NSW Parliament
"...thoroughly enjoyed it. ...portrays the skullduggery of the media and
the ruling-class for what they truly are. Even though it shows 160 years of
union bashing by the media, it also outlines 160 years of working-class
struggle and achievements. This is something that every Australian worker
would find truly inspiring."
Brian (Sparkles) Parker: CFMEU Sydney City organiser
"A fantastic book... Puts the work of Piers (Akerman) into some historical
perspective..."
Peter Lewis: editor Workers On Line
"A very informative and startling look at big business attacks through the
media on those less fortunate - the working man - who have the courage to
band together in unions and demand a little better for themselves."
Joseph Brcic: Site Delegate Warringah Mall project
"The role of the media and their hired word-doctors is to brainwash the
working class - and by aptly quoting them this publication proves it. A
wonderful job..."
Tom McDonald: former National Secretary CFMEU
Comprehensively researched, but written in an easy-to-read style, with lots
of photos and cartoons, this booklet is a devastating indictment of the bias
of the daily press over the last 160 years. It looks at the attitude of the
press from the very beginning of the building unions through many of the
major battles that workers had to have to win the wages and conditions of
today. Available now for only $6 (post & packing included) from the CFMEU
NSW Branch.
