You are invited to attend a general meeting for trade union members in
Socialist Alliance.
Tuesday 30 September, 6.00pm.
Upstairs, John Curtin Hotel, 29 Lygon St, Carlton
Socialist Alliance has many members who are active unionists. Our
caucuses in the NTEU and AEU are starting to make a real impact. There
are good possibilities for the Left as shown in recent victories by SA
members and other left candidates in union elections. We have an
essential role in building union consciousness among workers and
developing militant trade unions.
The meeting will launch our new trade union pamphlet, which is an
invaluable aid to any union activist.
There will be three agenda items:
1. Launch of the trade union pamphlet by John Cummins (CFMEU) and Louise
Walker (NTEU)
2. Report on progress of Socialist Alliance trade union work nationally
3. Plans for how we organise our trade union work in Victoria
The meeting should take about one and half to two
hours depending on the discussion. It would be great
to see as many as possible of our union members there
to share experiences and develop a good plan for our
union work.
We are also organising a trade union seminar for
1.00-5.00pm on Saturday 18 October at the MUA rooms in
West Melbourne. The title will be ``Seminar for
unionists: getting organised��. It will kick off with
guest speakers - new postal union state secretary Joan
Doyle and new MUA secretary Kevin Bracken. This will
be followed by two workshops, one on how to challenge
the anti-union laws and one on organising in non-union
and poorly-unionised workplaces.
Please contact Sue Bolton on 0413-377-978 or
9639-8622, Judy McVey on 0418-347-374 or Maureen
Murphy on 9386 0367 if you have any questions or would
like to discuss anything.
Yours in unity
Sue Bolton, Judy McVey and Maureen Murphy
