PROTEST ALERT!
MEDIA RELEASES AND PARTICIPATION IN SOLIDARITY URGENTLY REQUESTED!
This is just an initial email to let you know the date, time and a
little bit about the issues we will be protesting around.
Date: 11th April 10am
Place: Minister for Education's office: 2 Treasury Place Melbourne City
Issues: The locking out of students at Chisholm, and refusal of
managements there and at many other Institutes to provide the student
unions with a budget and staff for 2002. The government's refusal to
pressure these Institutes into 'restoring student unions' as promised.
The government's broken promise of reducing the cost of Concession cards
to $6.20 for tertiary students. The casualisation of teachers and
decrease in course quality. The corporatisation of education, with
Institutes catering to business over the needs of students.
Form: 2000 'votes for student unionism' signed by Chisholm students,
will be delivered to the government. The protest will be entirely
peaceful, with no 'surprises'. All student organisations, unions and
other sympathetic groups and individuals are strongly encouraged to
attend, and send out their own media release on the day. We'll work out
a better media release you might like to base yours on closer to the
day. For more info call Caspar at VTSAN 96397699 or 0438570115.
UNITED WE STAND!!
