CWAO Statement on the state’s threat to AMCU
Resist state attacks on trade unions
Casual Workers Advice Office press release 1 May 2019

Quite the contrary. The AMCU incident signals a deepening of the state’s attack on trade unions, following the unprecedented 2018 legislative attack on unions’ ability to strike and picket. The Department of Labour’s threat to deregister AMCU is a continuation of that attack on worker organisations and must be resisted by all progressive forces.
