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.

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

The Stick Together Show 3CR community radio 855AM Friday, 17th November at 8.30am Saturday, 18th November at 10.30am Monday, 20th November at 6am -- Fair Employment Bill According to recent studies, Victoria has some of the lowest-paid poorly treated workers in Australia thanks to the legacy of the former Kennett Liberal government. A new Bill is before the state parliament which seeks to redress this situation - to provide protection a new state IR regulatory system which will cover approximately one-third of the workforce which lost any form of award protection when Kennett abolished state awards in 1993. The Bill went before the lower house of parliament this week. While not delivering everything workers could hope for, a broad range of groups unions have leant their support to this Bill. To explain its significance, we'll hear from: * Leigh Hubbard - Secretary, Victorian Trades Hall * Wendy Sengotta - Director, Jobwatch Community Legal Service * Annie Delaney - Outworker Coordinator, TCFUA Welfare reform As the Federal government moves closer to delivering its anticipated welfare changes, some of the proposals for which include extending mutual obligation to sole parents people on Disability Support payments, benefit recipients are being left out of the discussions on their future. A national conference on Welfare Reform was held at Melbourne University last week. Speakers at the conference included the Minister for Family Community Services, Jocelyn Newman, the author of the much-publicised McClure Report into Welfare Reform, the recommendations from which are currently being considered by the government. With tickets to the one-day conference costing over $200 each, unemployed people those on other benefits who will be directly impacted by the proposed welfare changes were obviously excluded , when a group of unemployed workers representatives of community organisations turned up outside the conference to have a say in the discussions, they were met by security barred from entry. Ian McFarlane (3CR Squatters Unemployed Workers Show) spoke to several of those present outside the conference compiled this report.

Call centres cause mental physical stress in staff: Following on from last week's program on workplace bullying,this week the Stick Together Show takes a look at the high incidence of reported mental physical stress among workers at call centres Australia-wide. 3CR's Nola Brooks talks with Marg Williamson, OHS workers' compensation officer with the Telecommunications Division of the CEPU. Commonwealth Bank is called to account: As part of an ongoing campaign against the Commonwealth Banks' recent moves to move staff over onto Australian Workplace Agreements, the Finance Sector Union went to the CBA Annual General Meeting on 26th October. Armed with several 1000 proxy votes, the union planned to make its voice heard call the bank to account, not only on staff treatment but also on community anger over reduced service to Australian rural and metropolitan communities. But when they got there, shareholders had their own questions, resulting in a marathon meeting which lasted for over 4 hours. Tony Beck (FSU) talks to Dennis Evans, from 3CR's Strikeback program. And Victorian unions have given the bank until today to change their tune on AWAs or they will begin a campaign of withdrawing union $$$ from investment with the bank. Leigh Hubbard (VTHC) explains the proposal.

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.

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.

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.

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?

THE STICK TOGETHER SHOW ON 3CR: SATURDAY18/12/9910.30 AM MONDAY 20/12/996.00 AM [REPT] - National community radio's weekly look at issues of industrial workplace justice.=20 The Stick Together Show is produced at the studios of 3CR, with the assistance of the Search Foundation.

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 OHS, 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.
