> Dear trade unionist,
> I am writing on behalf of StandUp!, an organisation
> fighting for unemployed and all people getting social security. You may
not
> be aware that the government will soon introduce drastic measures which
will
> seriously effect unemployed people directly and workers indirectly. From
> July 1, all unemployed under 50 not studying or working part-time, will be
> forced to do community service or, in default, work for the dole. As an
> alternative they can opt to do part-time military service.
>
> StandUp! totally opposes this co-option of workers on the dole queue. It
is
> tough enough trying to find work and being forced to live on the dole, let
> alone having to work for it. Work for the dole and community service are a
> serious attack on working conditions and unionisation. From an employer's
> point of view, why employ a unionist if you can get an unemployed person
to
> do the same work for no pay?
>
> StandUp! wants a joint campaign against this exploitation. We seek support
> from your union. Please contact us on 9319 4037 to discuss how we can
fight
> this legalised slavery together!
