Rudd: Abolish the ABCC NOW.
Tuesday December 02nd 2008, 8:26 am

Remnants of the HoWARd anti-union onslaught yet remain, an entire year after Rudd & Labor were elected on the promise that they would scrap WorkChoices- and all that went with it.

KEVIN RUDD: If elected, we will abolish WorkChoices.

Ridiculous and draconian laws YET remain on the books which criminalise union organising activity, up to and including taking away a right to silence when being questioned by the Australian Building and Construction Commission.

If you’re in Melbourne, there’s a community rally on Monday 8 December you should attend to show your support for the abolition of the ABCC and the halt of all WorkChoices prosecutions of trade unionists.
