Victoria has been shaken by an upsurge of industrial struggle. With mass
support for the MUA still fresh in our minds; the Metal workers Campaign
2000 and the Building workers 36 hour campaign mark key battle fronts for
all working people. This forum will help draw a balance sheet of these
campaigns, debate the relationship to the Bracks Labor Government, examine
the implications of an expected recession and discuss the way forward for
unions...
