Today three stories. We go down to the Public Housing towers in the inner Melbourne Suburb of Fitzroy to hear from MSS Security Guards covered by the United Workers Union taking industrial action for fair pay and conditions. We find out why the Australian Services Union has called a national day of action for the 23rd of October to protect fair wages and conditions for workers under the Social Community, homecare and disability services award. and we find out more about the how Italian Unions were able to successfully manager two general strikes within weeks of each other in support of Gaza.
Nobody seems to remember the #ApacheDancers anymore. They were #ConcreteBlonde-affiliated, Earle Mankey produced, and featured old #RankAndFile drummer Slim Evans - not to mention French singer Bernadette Colomine, who'd go on to do French subtitles/dubbing for #LeonardCohen DVDs. Their 1990 take on #BobbyEdwards' early 60s country hit, "You're The Reason" - reimagined as a kind of Nancy & Lee duet! - is well worth a listen.

Since then, there have been a federal election, a failed high court challenge, and a handful of days of unprotected strike action. EBAs have continued to be negotiated despite hurdles from the FWC and bosses).

This blue between Administration and the rank-and-file will be the definitive dispute for this generation of CFMEU members. How the battle is fought will shape the identity of the CFMEU as much as the ultimate outcome.
