S11 Alliance
An invitation to all trade unions
Dear friends,
The World Economic Forum is holding its Asia Pacific Summit here in
Melbourne between September 10 - 13. The WEF involves all the world's major
corporations and government policy-makers in establishing agendas for so
called "economic reform". In other words, the WEF is a central player in
promoting the economic rationalist agenda we are so familiar with here:
privatisation, anti-union laws, destruction of welfare and other public
sector cutbacks.
The S11 Alliance was formed earlier this year to help coordinate community
protests against the WEF agenda.
We were happy to hear that Victorian trade unions had decided to organise a
rally in protest of the WEF on Tuesday September 12. The S11 Alliance is
keen to promote all trade union and community displays of opposition to the
WEF agenda.
As a focus for this opposition, the S11 Alliance has organised a three-day
non-violent blockade of the WEF meeting at Crown Towers. This blockade will
begin 7am on Monday September 11.
We would like to encourage trade unionists to participate throughout this
blockade. In particular, the S11 Alliance would like to invite the trade
union rally of Tuesday September 12 to march to the blockade and establish a
trade union platform in order to raise and promote the trade union movements
particular concerns about the WEF agenda.
Further we would like to ask your support for the blockade, with
endorsement, donations or logistical assistance.
In solidarity,
Joe Mancor
