Calling all CPSU members! Members First is holding a Melbourne meeting
on Monday 13 October, 6.30 pm in the Trades Hall Bar.
Members First will contest the election for the position of CPSU
National President. The ballot will take place in November. This meeting
will plan the Victorian end of our campaign.
We'll also be discussing plans to defend and extend the right of CPSU
members in all work places to organise using workplace e-mail systems.
In some work places, such as Centrelink, this is currently severely
curtailed.
The meeting will also feature a discussion about how to build a
democratic and activist culture within the CPSU. The discussion will be
introduced by CPSU National Councillor, Terry Costello, who will
highlight some of the key ideas in the resolution on building militant
democratic unions passed at the second national conference of Socialist
Alliance.
This resolution is included in a new Trade union pamphlet published by
Socialist Alliance which includes articles by CPSU members Judy McVey
and Alison Thorne. McVey addresses the importance of the union movement
challenging racism and Thorne takes up the importance of resisting
sexism and campaigning around working women's demands. Contact any of
the names below to get a copy of this invaluable organising tool for
just $3.
Come along. Have your say and help build an activist union which can
tackle the issues of the day.
