Message of support from Regional Local Government to Fremantle Care Workers



On 5 October the Committee heard feedback on the campaign. The Committee fully endorsed the conduct of the campaign and urged Region to help publicise the forthcoming
Rally and March on 10 November 2007.

A bucket collection was gathered to support the hardship payments made to the striking care workers.

Fremantle Rally and March 10 November – Burnt Oak - Join Us !


Privatisation, privatisation, privatisation...............................
This obsession (almost ‘Lemming- like’) with the privatisation dogma at times seems unrelenting despite the fact it has not delivered the savings promised

As public sector workers we all have a choice. To bury our heads in the sand and hope it doesn’t happen or face the challenge. Our Union believes it must stand up and support members when facing attacks. The Fremantle care workers dispute is a case in point. All Council services will at some time face the possibility of priviatisation. Make a date in your diary and come along and JOIN the Fremantle care workers. You never know when you may need their support.

Support our NHS !

It’s our NHS and whilst is has been looking after us and our families for over 50 years,
now it is time we showed our support.
Make sure you can get down to the rally
