Sharon Beder is associate professor in the Science, Technology & Society program at the University of Wollongong. Having worked for several years as an engineer, in 1989 she turned her hand to writing books on a variety of issues such as sustainable development, science & technology, environmentalism & corporate PR. Her most recent book, released in December, looks at the historical development of the work ethic in English-speaking modern industrial societies & at the impact of this development for our current notions of work and leisure. Selling the Work Ethic: from puritan pulpit to corporate PR looks at how the notion of "work" defines the worth and social value of the individual in society. And at how this concept is "sold" within the modern industrial society. And at the impact that the dominance of this work ethic has on how we organise our lives in a work-dominated society and how we define our worth in society. NB: Selling the Work Ethic is published by Scribe Publications in Australia. Direct Action: The story of Herb Edwards, Norwegian immigrant logging worker who tells of the Spokane Free Speech fight (1910). "Told"/sung by Utah Phillips to a live audience in New Orleans in 1999. Taken from Fellow Workers, featuring ani difranco & Utah Phillips & his Mensabilly Band. Produced by ani difranco. Righteous Babe Records 1999.

LL:PR: What's on the Stick Together Show this week
THE STICK TOGETHER SHOW National community radio's weekly program of industrial, social & workplace justice issues. = Heard on 3CR Community Radio (855AM) this week: Friday 9/2/01 at 8.30am Saturday 10/2/01 at 10.30am Monday 12/2/01 at 6.00am -- East Timor - development or madness? Now that the most spectacular events of the 1999 violence in East Timor have passed, media coverage of the Timorese struggle for independencce has been minimal in Australia. Meanwhile, violence continues in many parts of the country, & communities struggle to rebuild their lives & their livelihoods, despite the extreme level of destruction that went on in 1999. Dilli is full of activity, as the interim leadership, NGOs & UNTAET (the UN body in East Timor) oversee reconstruction, infrastructure and aid programs to rebuild Timor. Foreign business has been quick to see their chance within the massive development process now taking place, and Dilli has been hailed by many as the site of the great new Capitalist experiment, where business can expand unimpeded by the usual regulation or domestic laws governing business & development issues. Rowan Mitchell has been living & working in Dilli as part of the East Timor Community Computer Project. The project was established in mid-2000 to give practical assistance to Timorese communities in the form of computer hardware & technical support. Rowan speaks about the project, & gives his observations of local community development as it is (or isn't) taking place in East Timor at present. He's speaking to Iain McIntyre, from 3cr's SUUWA Show. -- For information / with information or to purchase tapes of the program, contact: Meredith Butler [Producer] phone - (03) 9419 8377 fax - (03) 9417 2247 e-mail - [EMAIL PROTECTED] [please mark: "attention: stick together show"] post - STG, c/o 3CR, PO Box 1277, Collingwood 3066. -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archived at http://www.cat.org.au/lists/leftlink/ Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink

LL:INFO: 3CR wins national awards for S11 coverage
MEDIA RELEASE 3CR wins national media awards for S11 coverage Tuesday November 28, 2000 3CR Community Radio in Melbourne won 3 awards at the weekend's Community Broadcasting Association of Australia's (CBAA) annual conference held on the Gold Coast in Queensland. 3CR won 2 awards for its coverage of the S11 protests outside the World Economic Forum meeting in Melbourne over September 11th - 13th. The first was for Excellence in Spoken Word Programming, News and Current Affairs and Documentaries. The second was for the training of volunteers in preparation for the special S11 outside broadcast under the category of the Dave Rose Training Award. 3CR also picked up an award for it's live music show "Local and Live" for Excellence in Music Programming. During the 3 days of the S11 protests 3CR broadcast live hourly updates from 7am until 10pm, special breakfast and hometime shows, as well as supplying the broader community radio sector with an hour long S11 special on each of the 3 days. Volunteers were trained in the use of new equipment, live outside broadcasting and uploading audio files to the internet. "The need for independent, non-corporate media was made crystal clear over the period of S11. While newspapers, radio and television across the mainstream led with "violent protestors" (even though their footage and photos negated this statement), it was left to the likes of 3CR to give voice both to the issues and cover just what was happening at the protest site", says 3CR's Current Affairs Coordinator Juliet Fox.

LL:PR: What's on the Stick Together Show this week....
THE STICK TOGETHER SHOW: National community radio's weekly look at issues of industrial, social & workplace justice. Heard on 3CR (855AM) Friday, October 13...8.30am Saturday, October 14.10.30am Monday, October 16...6.00am DETAILS: Fiji nation day goes 'blue': Unions in Fiji on Tuesday joined other community and business groups in a day of protest today against the measures of the Interim Administration in Fiji, calling for a return to the 1997 constitution which they say formed the backbone for democracy in that country. Inviting people to wear blue to express their protest, the organisers say there was a high level of support for their action. The Interim Attorney General had ruled that civil servants would be in breach of the Public Service Code of Conduct if they participated. Diwan Shankar is Assistant Secretary of the Fiji Trade Union Congress & he speaks here from his office in Suva on Tuesday. Internet surveillance in child care centres: A proposal to install webcams into child care centres in WA and 'sell' parents access to the website on which the 'Kindercam' will be shown has alarmed child care workers & their union. While it seems unlikely that centres will agree to go down this path, the proposal has serious implications, not only for workers but also for issues of privacy and internet accessibility to children within the centres. Sue Devereaux from the Liquor, Hospitality & Miscellaneous Workers Union in WA explains. Share arrangements for blue collar workers: A Federal government report announced this week recommends changes to Australia's taxation, company and industrial laws to encourage what it calls a culture of 'share-owning' among workers. While a proportion of white collar workers and management level employees already participate in company share schemes, the government's approach to this issue requires careful monitoring according to critics within the labour movement. To find out more about this subject, we spoke to Sarah Turboville, lecturer in the Dept of Management at Monash University in Melbourne who's currently researching a PhD in industrial relations and employees share-owning arrangements.

Heard on 3CR (855AM) Friday, October 6...8.30am Saturday, October 710.30am Monday, October 8...6.00am DETAILS: FUEL EXCISE & ALTERNATIVE FUEL RESOURCES FOR TRANSPORT INDUSTRY: Blockades by truck owner-drivers in Victoria & QLD recently (and rallies by farmers to Canberra this week) have mirrored similar actions by their counterparts in Britain. At issue is the Federal Government's fuel excise, first levied on diesel fuel in 1957 & making up a substantial % of the per litre cost of fuel in Australia.=20 The government blames increased world oil prices for the steep rise in fuel prices seen over recent months. But, say truckies, someone has to take responsibility for the crippling costs which have led many owner-drivers to the wall. And they are bemused by government appeals to financial constraint as justification for not freezing or removing the excise, when it has just announced a record surplus for this past year. Meanwhile, a number of groups and new initiatives are working around the country to raise the profile and viability of alternative fuel sources which would see industry less dependent on world oil prices and making use of more renewable and 'green' fuel sources.

Mary Bluett (State President, AEU) explains to 3CR's Nola Brooks what this would mean for public education in Australia. New Indonesian unions critique new labour laws: Romawaty Sinaga is the leader of a new trade union in Indonesia which aims to represent workers within the manufacturing sector, many of whom have not been unionised before. The passing of new, more lenient labour laws which allow for the establishment of trade unions in a country where free and independent unions have in the past been outlawed has been hailed by many as a great victory for workers. But, says Romawaty during a recent visit to Australia, there are still many limitations to the operation and freedom of unions under the new laws. Her visit was courtesy of Action for Solidarity with Indonesia & East Timor (ASIET). S26 in Prague & Melbourne: Workers and unions this week join hundreds of thousands of environmental and community activists around the world in the next phase of the global fight against exploitation and corporate tyranny. From September 26-28, the World Bank & the International Monetary Fund are meeting in Prague and to greet them will be protesters from around the world, following in the tradition established by actions in Washington, Seattle, Davos & Melbourne. The Czech Republic is making its own preparations to handle protest at this meeting, as we hear from Pauline Mitchell (Campaign for International Cooperation and Disarmament). She's speaking with Nola Brooks. Plus, coverage of the Melbourne rally in solidarity with s26 & against Bracks government's role in s11.

After a decade & a half of relative economic prosperity and growth, unions have become weakened, representing only 10% of workers. Repressive laws, such as the Internal Security Act have been strengthened and have been used against trade union leaders. Malaysia has not seen the same degree of militant activity on the part of unions which has characterised the struggle in neighbouring South Korea. Yet, since the economic collapse of the last 2 years, Malaysian workers are increasingly becoming conscious of the need for democratic reform and movements for social change. Tian Chua is the Director of the Labour Resource Centre in Kuala Lumpur. He's speaking with Gigi Chandrashekeran.

LL:AA: Help keep Women on the Line
I am writing to ask for your help to keep Women on the Line (WOTL) on the air. As a supporter of women's rights you will be aware of the need for women to have a voice in the media. Too often women are represented negatively and using stereotypes. Women rarely seem to qualify as 'experts' or 'commentators'. Issues that affect women are seldom covered with intelligence and sensitivity and debates within the feminist communities are billed as, 'rifts, signalling the decline of feminism'. The sad fact is that, although we might not like it, many of us accept the absence of women's voices in the mainstream media. We are comforted by the fact that community-based media has an improved, if imperfect, record. However, it requires vigilance to ensure that women are not silenced on alternative media also. WOTL is the only women's current affairs program broadcast around Australia via satellite. The recent international women's conference in New York is a prime example of the need for WOTL. WOTL was the only Australian media that attended and covered the entire Beijing-plus-five conference. The fact that this trip was entirely self-funded (I had to get a second job) highlights the commitment to covering women's issues and events. It costs around $30,000 a year to produce WOTL. Community Broadcasting Foundation have, in recent years, significantly reduce the grant to Women on the Line (by a third) despite rising costs. Last year they provided less than a third of the amount required. The Community Broadcasting Foundation is now allocating grants for 2001. . Funding is not guaranteed and WOTl needs the support, not only of those that can/do listen, but of all who appreciate the importance of feminist radio in Australia. There are two main ways you can support the program: 1) support this letter. Reply to this email, ring (ph 03 9419 8377) or write (PO Box 1277 Collingwood 3066) 2) write a letter or e-mail of your own explaining why you think a national feminist radio program is important. I will include your letter in my application to the CBF. Applications close September 14 2000 so sometime before then would be great. Thanks for your continued support.

West Australian Premier Richard Court made the announcement to convert some 540,000 hectares in to 2 National Parks and 3 Conservation Reserves. The proposal has been widely condemned, primarily because it blatantly fails to respect and involve the aboriginal traditional owners.=20 Premier Richard Court has labelled those opposing the parks proposal as following a political agenda. Maria Mann is from Environs Kimberley, a local environment group based in Broome, and she rejects the Premier's accusation saying that it's simply about good conservation and opposing a cynical exercise in trying to win green credential.

LL:PR: What's on the Stick Together Show this week...
The Stick Together Show National community radio's weekly program of industrial, social & workplace justice issues. Heard on 3CR Community Radio (855AM) this week: Friday 25/8/2000 at 8.30am Saturday 26/8/2000 at 10.30am Monday 27/8/00 at 6.00am -- ACTU WOMEN GET TOGETHER On August 21st & 22nd, trade union women from around Australia met in Adelaide for the inaugural ACTU Women's Congress. While debate ensued as to whether it was in fact the first ever such gathering, there's no doubting this was definitely a significant occasion which looks likely to be added to the annual trade union calendar. The event was attended by a number of workplace delegates from around Australia, as well as the 'top brass' women of the union movement. MICHELLE HOGAN [Asst Secretary, United Trades & Labour Council of SA] was one of the organisers of the Congress & she reports on what went on. UNION WOMEN CALL ON HOWARD TO ACT OVER PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION Delegates at the ACTU Women's Congress in Adelaide (see previous story) called on John Howard to act on recommendations of a Human Rights & Equal Opportunity Commissioner's Report into Pregnancy Discrimination. The report came out 12 months ago & not one of its 46 recommendations have been implemented. LISA HEAP is AEU Women's Officer & represented the ACTU at the ILO on the issue of pregnancy discrimination. NEW ZEALAND'S NEW INDUSTRIAL LAW Big changes are afoot in NZ with the passing of new industrial legislation (the Employment Relations Bill). The new law replaces the notorious Employment Contracts Act (ECA) of the former National government &, while criticised by many as not going far enough, is a significant step back towards unions and worker rights under the current Labour/Alliance Coalition government. And - possibly as a sign of the changing times - the 'rebel' NZ Trade Union Federation (NZTUF) plans to re-unite with the peak body NZ Council of Trade Unions (CTU), after 7 years apart. The NZTUF broke away from the CTU in 1993, when a number of mostly blue collar unions left in disgust at the peak body's failure to mobilise workers in protest against the ECA & the National government. MICHAEL GILCHRIST is Secretary of the NZTUF & he explains the current climate among unions in NZ.

Sole parents & mutual obligation The Federal government's welfare reform agenda has been made clearer in recent weeks and represents a dramatic extension of mutual obligation policies currently in place, say welfare rights advocates. Taking their cue from countries like the USA, the government has also proposed the introduction of mutual obligation criteria for sole parents. Jenny Blakey from the Welfare Rights Units discusses the issue with 3CR's Giselle Hannah. Hiroshima Day - August 6 Sunday August 6 is Hiroshima Day & unions/workers are being encouraged to join with environment and community activists to protest at the impact of the nuclear industry on the Australian community, the environment, indigenous land rights & sustainable industry development. As Dave Sweeney [Australian Conservation Foundation] points out, the impact of the nuclear industry on workers health & safety & the syphoning of government funding away from sustainable industry development & jobs are just some of the consequences of this dangerous industry which are of concern to Australian workers. Tassie workers take ALP Conference to task As the issue of 'free' vs 'fair' trade was debated on the floor of the ALP National conference in Hobart today, Tasmanian manufacturing workers voiced their own message to the Labour Party from outside the Wrest Point Casino where the conference was being held. Their message: vote no to the ALP draft 'free trade' policy being put to the vote by delegates inside. [The vote against the policy was subsequently lost by a narrow margin.] Philip Baker, Secretary of the AMWU Tas. branch, spoke to the Stick Together Show from the rally.

This week we return to the picket line at Moss Vale to check how things are going for the 63 workers still remaining. Finances are low and workers are forced to stand by & watch scab labour doing their work due to Supreme Court injunctions against the unions and workers.

Philippines urban poor disaster On the morning of July 11, just days after floods swamped Metro Manila and huge portions of Luzon, a "mountain" of garbage in the Payatas dumpsite collapsed and buried 500 shanties in Quezon City. Among these were members of the Kadamay workers federation, most of whose members work in insecure and marginalised jobs and many of whom are squatters in areas like Payatas. Peter Murphy [Philippine Australia Union Links] talks about the plight of the urban poor and marginalised workers in the Philippines under the Estrada government. Uni staff stressed & over worked A study of 1700 academic and general staff in Australian universities has found high levels of stress and incresing workloads, according to NTEU National President, Carolyn Allport. This is not surprising, she says, in a climate of university corporatisation and deregulation of tertiary education around Australia. Building workers are overpaid Well, that's the message from much of the media and industry this past week in the wake of in-principle agreement to the Victorian Building Industry Agreement by unions and employers within the Victorian construction industry. Fears for the future of the industry and loss of 'investor confidence' have also been expressed. But, says Martin Kingham [CFMEU State Secretary], development projects are on the increase, despite it being 2 months since the core of this Agreement was agreed to by industry, and the figures quoted are based on maximum estimates of working time, which are unlikely under the union's 36-hour week agreement.

Free from corporate sponsorship and government control, 3CR brings the community social justice radio with integrity. They have tried to sue us, investigate us and to keep us quiet. 3CR prevails because we are the Uncensored and Outspoken voice of the community. 3CR continues to demonstrate its independence in a world of restricted media ownership and content dictated by market values.

Typical of the issues that 3CR has covered over the last 12 months have been the unique focus on the liberation struggle of East Timor. With nearly 12 years of East Timor programs we were uniquely placed to understand, hear and report first hand, the destruction of East Timor by the retreating Indonesian army and militias. Locally 3CR has committed itself to provide access for the Aboriginal community. With strong support and ownership, programs like Not Another Koori Show, Songlines, Koori Survival Show, Ilbijerri Chat, Stonefree and Mangrook are a proud part of 3CR's community access broadcasting. 3CR is also proud of our fearless coverage of prison issues including the privatisation of prisons and the scandalous use of immigration detention centres. 3CR's commitment to the voice of the community is reflected in the extension of our prison issue program Doin' Time to an hour after the station received a petition from Women prisoners at the Metropolitan Women's Correctional Centre. 3CR is independent, community owned and controlled, with progressive views unfettered by the demands of commercial or government sponsors. 3CR relies on the support of the community and our 400 volunteers to keep us on air.

The Stick Together Show Week beginning: 4'3'2000 Duration: 27' Starts: Theme as per usual Ends: "...see you next week." + Theme as usual -- National community radio's weekly look at issues of industrial & workplace justice. The Stick Together Show is produced at the studios of 3CR, with the assistance of the Search Foundation. For details of where you can hear the program, see end of page. AWAs - where are they taking Australian workers We've seen some much publicised disputes in recent years [BHP, Waterfront, etc] around the issue of individual contracts & the right to collectively bargain. And some unexpected wins in the courts which have given workers & their unions a breather in this dispute. But what's happening on the ground for workers in less high-profile workplaces/industries where AWAs are often forced on workers under the guise of a generous "offer", with workers not really finding out the down-side of individual contracts until it's too late. We look at two examples of how workers are faring under AWAs. Tasrail - Roger Jowett [National Secretary, Rail, Tram & Bus Union] Bevpak - Jennifer Dowell [Organiser, AMWU NSW] Older workers What can workers expect to face as they age & how should we be valuing & protecting older workers in Australia?

Activists on both the right and left of politics have been pushing their messages through online technologies [the internet and e-mail] for several years now. Unions should get their act together and do the same, according to Eric Lee. Eric is the founder & editor of a large international labour website entitled LabourStart which aims to bring daily news and coverage of labour struggles and events to interested people across the globe. Eric is also the author of "The Labour Movement and the Internet: The New Internationalism" (Pluto Press, London, 1996) and has written a number of articles on the same subject. In August, 1999, he visited Australia as a guest of Adult Learners Week, giving talks and workshops on practical uses for the world wide web and online communications to both adult educators and unions. On today's program, we explore these topics [and many more] in an extended discussion with Eric Lee on the role of the internet within the international labour movement and the uses it can be put to by unions and grassroots, rank-and-file activists alike.

DURATION : 27'15" (frogs til around 28'15") "Against Nature" re-broadcast on ABCTV Back in December 1997 the BBC screened a 2 part television documentary titled "Against Nature". The program has a strong anti-environmental message, with just who's behind the program remaining unclear. In Britain it was the subject of an independent television commission inquiry which saw official apologies made and a right of reply debate televised.=20 Last July the ABC broadcast the controversial series, but not the debate. And now, it seems, it's time for the repeat. "Against Nature" is to be screened on the ABC over two consecutive Tuesdays - January 25th and February 1st. When the ABC bought the series it apparently paid for 2 broadcasts, and as far as they're concerned series purely shows the otherside of the debate.=20 Cam Walker of Friends of the Earth disagrees - seeing it as misleading propaganda produced by an alarming combination of the the far left and the far right.

LL:PR: What's on the Stick Together Show this week.....
THE STICK TOGETHER SHOW ON 3CR [855AM] -- SATURDAYs at 10.30am MONDAYs at 6.00am [REPT] - National community radio's weekly look at issues of industrial & workplace justice. The Stick Together Show is produced at the studios of 3CR, with the assistance of the Search Foundation. For details of where you can hear the program, see end of page. 15th & 17th January, 2000 PART III - ART, MUSIC & WORKING LIFE This week we take a look at the world of independent and alternative film-makers and their art of recording the struggles & the stories of community working life & activism through the medium of film and video. TRISH NACEY, BRISBANE April 7, 1998 is a date few unionists & community activists will forget. On that night, & in the weeks following [on our TVs & in the papers] we saw Patricks workers forceably removed from their workplaces by security guards & dogs and the beginning of a lengthy dispute on Australian docks which involved massive community support and resistance. Brisbane independent filmmaker, TRISH NACEY, was so moved by the event she made a film of the dispute. Entitled "Solidarity & Unity", the documentary attempted to show the "human face" of the dispute & the massive community support for the MUA workers which eventuated. Trish talks about what motivates her to record life on the screen [bog or little] & some of the issues facing independent film-makers in getting their work made & out there to be seen. [Trish can be contacted on: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] WILD SPACES - HOBART This weekend [January 14-15], a film festival showcasing the works of alternative & independent activist film-makers will be showing at the Tasmanian School of Art in Hobart. Traditionally based in the environment movement, the Wild Spaces Film Festivals [this is now the 4th in Hobart & about the 8th Australia-wide] showcase the work of film-makers dealing with issues of social and global justice as well as environmental activism. A highlight of the Festival is an hour-long documentary compiled of footage of the World Trade Organisation talks protests held in Seattle in November. Festival Coordinator, SIMON BROWN, talks about the importance of such events as a space for independent & alternative film-makers to get seen and as an important part of celebrating our history and our life as an active community.

DURATION : 27'15" (frogs til around 28'15") Greenhouse gas emissions and immigration Last month the Australia Institute, a progressive think tank based in Canberra, released a report titled: "Population Growth and Greenhouse Gas Emissions". Authored by Hal Turton and Clive Hamilton, the report asserts in its Executive Summary that: "The analysis shows that Australia's population growth has been one of the main factors driving growth in domestic greenhouse gas emissions". In relating the matter to immigration they state that: "emissions per capita in countries of origin is only 42% of average emissions in Australia" and that the "implication is that as immigrants alter their lifestyle to that of Australians, they increase global greenhouse gas emissions." In a letter to a Melbourne newspaper, National Liaison Officer with Friends of the Earth, Cam Walker, wrote that : "Rather than raising concerns about new immigrants entering the country, we should be concerned at the massively disproportionate per capita greenhouse emissions produced by the Australian community as a whole." Today on Earth Matters 3CR's Heather Benbow speaks to Cam Walker, of Friends of the Earth Australia. IN: "Um in my mind there's 3 main things =85" OUT: "=85 at Kyoto."

DURATION : 26'55" (frogs til around 27'00") Arsenic contaminated groundwater in Bangladesh Today on Earth Matters we visit the village of Nillkhanda in Bangladesh to discuss and explore the issue of arsenic poisoning. Arsenic is found in the groundwater of around 65% of Bangladesh and it currently threatens the health of some 70 million people throughout Bangladesh. Arsenic is believed to be naturally occurring in the earth's crust throughout Bangladesh, yet with the massive use of groundwater some of the underground rock has been exposed to oxygen. For arsenic, oxidisation means that it becomes water soluble. Arsenic is toxic and carcinogenic, and already 7000 people have been diagnosed with arsenic poisoning and an unknown number have died. Just last week Earth Matters spoke with Dr Hasina Momotaj, Research Officer with the Arsenic Project, Bangladesh Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, on a visit to an affected village. Today we join Dr Hasina at Nillkhanda where she describes the present situation. It is through tube wells that the people access the groundwater, and at Nillkhanda only one tube well out of 42 is arsenic free. We also hear from a 4 year old girl suffering some of the symptoms of arsenic poisoning, and from an older man who also tells us about the range of people who consistently come and try and sell him cures and remedies. -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.alexia.net.au/~www/mhutton/index.html Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink

Y2K PENALTIES While most of us are fairly "over" all the hype that surrounds the turn of the century festivities coming up in just over a week's time, there's one aspect of this New Year frenzy that deserves attention. Millenium bug or not, whatever happens as the clock ticks over on January 1, 2000 one thing's for sure =85=85. there will be 1000s of Australian workers working overtime to make sure essential & emergency services run smoothly into the new millenium. And - their unions say - they deserve special remuneration for this special task. 3CR's NOLA BROOKS explores this issue with BERT BLACKBURN [Secretary, Communications Division, CEPU]. ACTU LIVING WAGE CASE The ACTU Living Wage Case, which is seeking a $24 wage rise for all low-paid workers in Australia, is currently before the IRC & will be decided sometime in February-March. Victorian Trades Hall Secretary - LEIGH HUBBARD - has been involved in supporting the claim & he explains it's importance for Australian workers to 3CR's NICK LENEHAN. EMPLOYMENT NATIONAL UNDER THREAT With criticism coming from all sides and a significant loss of contracts within the competitive tendering market of employment services delivery, Federal government-owned Employment National [formerly, the CES] looks likely to shed at least 1000 more jobs and may be forced to close altogether, putting at risk a further 700 workers. What's behind the demise of the government agency is the subject of some debate; meanwhile staff continue to work as best they can in the midst of difficult and stressful change and overwhelming job insecurity, says MATTHEW HAMMOND [an organiser with the Community & Public Sector Union]. And what's become of the old, now seemingly outdated notion of governments taking responsibility for long-term unemployed and the delivery of employment support services? While many would argue this has never actually been the case, things look even more grim for many struggling to survive in the brave new competitive marketplace of the jobless.

Acquired Brain Injury & Work In NSW alone, around 10,000 people will sustain a traumatic brain injury this year. Of those, close to 1000 will be left with a permanent disability. The causes of acquired brain injury [ABI] are diverse and may include a fall, a stroke, sporting or workplace accidents, substance abuse or motor vehicle accidents. The range of effects of such an injury on individuals vary but most people agree that living with ABI has changed their lives dramatically, including their capacity for work and their ability to access employment and training. Often, this is as much a result of community and employer attitudes and inflexible work systems as about the specific injuries themselves. Unions have waged a number of campaigns about OH&S, changes to workers' compensation and workplace injury/safety over recent months=85..all of which are critical issues to address. But what happens to workers after their injury? What support is available to people with ABI in accessing post-injury employment and training? Neil Blenkiron [Secretary] & Geoff Tresize [Treasurer] work for Bear in Mind - a self-advocacy and community education group for people living with ABI. They discuss these and other aspects of negotiating working life with a brain injury in a special ABI edition of the Stick Together Show. Bear in Mind can be contacted on (03) 9639 7222.

Today on Earth Matters we attend the launch of the Victorian Solar, Wind and Water Industry Plan at the offices of the Electrical Trade Union in Melbourne. The Industry Plan is a joint venture of unions, industry and Earth Worker and seeks to move from fossil fuel energy sources to renewables. Leigh Hubbard, Secretary of the Victorian Trades Hall Council begins by outlining his commitment to the plan and how he intends to put the Trades Hall building on to Green Power - that is, power that's sourced from renewables. We also hear from Dean Mighell of the Electrical Trades Union, Leigh Snelling of Moreland City Council and Dave Kerrin from Earth Worker. "No Jobs on a Dead Planet" Launch and Forum Earth Workers' "No Jobs on a Dead Planet" tour included a range of events around Melbourne culminating in a forum at Trades Hall.

LL:PR: What's on the Stick Together Show this week.....
The Stick Together Show National community radio's weekly look at issues of industrial & workplace justice. The Stick Together Show is produced at the studios of 3CR, with the assistance of the Search Foundation. For details of where you can hear the program, see end of page. -- HEARD ON 3CR 855AM, SATURDAYS AT 10.30AM, REPEATED MONDAYS AT 6AM NT WORKERS Workers in Australia's Top End could be forgiven for feeling that they're often left out of the national dialogue on matters of industrial relations and workplace issues. Even the recent Senate Inquiry into Peter Reith's 2nd wave IR legislation never quite made it to Darwin, despite it being on their original schedule. Workers and unions in the NT still put their submissions, sending representatives south to appear before the Inquiry. JANET KRUSE is Secretary of the NT Public Sector Union and was one of those who appeared before the Senate Committee. She explains the specific issues facing NT workers as she sees them. CASUALS & TEMPS GET ORGANISED And, far down south at the other end of Australia, a group of casual and temporary contract workers are showing that it's not impossible to stand up for your rights, no matter how precarious your employment situation. Workers employed by labour hire firms at the Land Titles Office in Melbourne are taking industrial action this weekend, demanding their employment status be tranferred to the Federal award and that they be paid accordingly. BREE CARLTON is a member of the Workplace Organising Committee which represents workers at the office. An urgent call has been put out for all workers and community activists to rally at the titles office from 8am this Sunday [Nov. 15] to show your support of the land titles workers action. Or ring the ASU office on 9342 3400 to make a donation or offer your support. Australia has the 2nd highest proportion of casual and temporary workers in all of the OECD. This issue is one which is of concern to unions and labour movement bodies nationally. LEIGH HUBBARD [Victorian Trades Hall Council] explains the significance of disputes like that at the Land Titles Office for challenging the power of labour hire companies and increasing job insecurity in a growing range of industry sectors. --- For information / with information or to purchase tapes of the program, contact: Meredith Butler [Producer] phone - (03) 9419 8377 fax - (03) 9417 2247 e-mail - [EMAIL PROTECTED] [please mark: "attention: stick together show"] post - STG, c/o 3CR, PO Box 1277, Collingwood 3066.

More recently Arundhati has received further attention through her campaigning against the massive Narmada dam project in India. Today on Earth Matters we hear the final part of Arundhati's address to over a thousand people at La Trobe univeristy in Melbourne. Arundhati begins by outlining some of the statistics and data which come out of the bureaucracy that is behind the project. As she says, "the statistical bedrock on which this project sits is faulty". She also outlines how the "benefits" of the project are highly exaggerated and often put up as been of direct benefit to the poor - the very people who are people displaced. IN: "Because this river flows through" OUT: "not been able to rehabilitate." DUR: 7'45 Changing the river with dams has seen massive deposits of silt, forcing women to walk miles to collect water, and small boats to get caught in circular currents. Whole villages are submerged with some promises of "project affected people" (PAPS!) being relocated - often this leads to people being separated, communities broken up and totally inappropriate "rehabilitation" being implemented. IN: "Even though the dam is nowhere near its" OUT: "the land for absentee landlords." DUR: 8'15 Resettled people are often set up in tin shacks for years on end, while they're told that it's only temporary. The people's fight to save their river systems and protect their lives has seen whole communities standing for hours in their homes as water rises. Finally Arundhati states that this is a fight that must be won, and she hopes that people aware of the situation will take action. IN: "There's another category" OUT: "so be there. Thank you."

More recently Arundhati has received further attention through her campaigning against the massive Narmada dam project in India. Today on Earth Matters we hear from Arundhati addressing a packed audience at La Trobe univeristy in Melbourne. Firstly we hear about the success of her book and how that led Arundhati back to the roots of her passions and interests - the Narmada valley. For the last 15 years people have campaigned to stop the Narmada dam project, which was initially underwritten by the World Bank to the tune of $US450 million and still plans to build some 3,200 dams along one river system.=20 IN: "I want to start really personally =85" OUT: "=85 but please say something." DUR: 11'12 Millions of people are affected by the Narmada dam project, many are displaced only to end up in India's city slums. As Arundhati explains: "India' poorest people are subsidising the lives of the richest". The people displaced are like refugees of a hideous war, and often conflict arises between the poorest peoples as they fight over the "crumbs" they are thrown. The Narmada project is often held up as being in the national interest and essential if the country is going to "progress". Arundhati addresses this issue and looks at just how development is measured in her country. Finally, Arundhati expresses hope for the future of the Narmada valley and the power of the people who fight it.=20 IN: "I feel like someone who's just stumbled on a mass grave =85" OUT: "=85 World Bank knows about all the things, well, that the World Bank knows about."

Today on Earth Matters we visit the village with executive director of the Environment and Social Development Organisation (ESDO), Hossain Shariar. Shariar begins by giving us some background on the Bangladeshi non-government organisation ESDO, which has also campaigned heavily throughout Bangladesh against the use of plastic bags. We hear how plastic bags clog the city after floods, causing stagnant water which people (especially children) drown in and which also spreads disease. After the floods of 1988, Dhaka remained under water for 58 days and some 25,000 children died during and after. Shariar then outlines the details of what ESDO is trying to do at Charhogla, including organic farming, wildlife conservation, a plastic bag free environment and micro credit schemes for the rural women. IN: "I'm Hossain Shariar" OUT: "out of 3,800." DUR: 7'52 One woman directly involved in the eco-village project is Aklima Bagum.

DURATION : 27'10" (frogs til around 28'10") Arsenic contaminated groundwater in Bangladesh Today on Earth Matters we visit the village of Nillkhanda (sp?) in Bangladesh to discuss and explore the issue of arsenic poisoning. Arsenic is found in the groundwater of around 65% of Bangladesh and it currently threatens the health of some 70 million people throughout Bangladesh. Arsenic is believed to be naturally occurring in the earth's crust throughout Bangladesh, yet with the massive use of groundwater some of the underground rock has been exposed to oxygen. For arsenic, oxidisation means that it becomes water soluble. Arsenic is toxic and carcinogenic, and already 7000 people have been diagnosed with arsenic poisoning and an unknown number have died. Just last week Earth Matters spoke with Dr Hasina Momotaj, Research Officer with the Arsenic Project, Bangladesh Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, on a visit to an affected village. Today we join Dr Hasina at Nillkhanda where she describes the present situation. It is through tube wells that the people access the groundwater, and at Nillkhanda only one tube well out of 42 is arsenic free. We also hear from a 4 year old girl suffering some of the symptoms of arsenic poisoning, and from an older man who also tells us about the range of people who consistently come and try and sell him cures and remedies. -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.alexia.net.au/~www/mhutton/index.html Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink

Helen is a world renowned environmental activist, founding President of Physicians for Social Responsibility and author of many books, including "Nuclear Madness" and "If you love this Planet". Helen speaks out on multinationals ruling the world, the fundamental problems of the consumerist society and the arrival of genetically engineered food and farming. She also talks about her personal passion and commitment to a safer future, and how surely all of humanity cares about the planet their children will inherit and will therfore act in its best interests. We also hear readings from an article in the Los Angeles Times last year by Helen on America's nuclear dealings with China - it's push for more nuclear technology as the answer to global warming and the US nuclear industry's encroachment into countries such as China and Indonesia. Three excerpts from Helen courtesy of Alternative Radio @ 5-6" each, interspersed by two readings from the LA Times article @ 1" and 2" and music. -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.alexia.net.au/~www/mhutton/index.html Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink
LL:3CR Radiothon for East Timor
MEDIA RELEASE MEDIA RELEASE MEDIA RELEASE MEDIA RELEASE 3CR and the CFMEU organise Radiothon for East Timor Sunday September 12th, 1999 9am - 12midday 9419 8377 In response to the desperate situation in East Timor, 3CR Community Radio will run a Radiothon on this coming Sunday, September 12th. Money raised will go to the National Council for Timorese Resistance (CNRT) and their struggle for freedom and independence. Since its beginning in 1976, 3CR has reported on the invasion of East Timor and the slaughter of over one third of the population by the Indonesian military. More recently in the weeks leading up to Monday's referendum, 3CR has covered the horror of the killing, torturing and intimidation of East Timorese people by the Indonesian-backed militia. On Monday, results of the referendum showed that the East Timorese people had voted overwhelming for Independence - since then 3CR has prioritised news from East Timor. 3CR keeps in close contact with both the East Timorese community here in Melbourne and those now arriving in Australia having fled their homeland. >From 9am on Sunday morning 3CR programming will feature stories, news and analysis of the situation in East Timor. The CFMEU's weekly show, The Concrete Gang, will look at the union movement's response and role to the crisis in East Timor from 9:30 to 10:30am. Listeners will be called upon to pledge financial support to assist with the struggle for East Timorese independence. The 3CR community is distressed and outraged at the merciless and preventable violence against the East Timorese people. 3CR's actions recognise the urgency of the situation on the ground in East Timor, and directly respond to the shameful inaction of the Australian Government.
