NewsCommunity of Sydney to Back CFMEU
A rally to support the CFMEU will highlight the depth of community support for the union agead of the first hearing of the Royal Commission into the Building Industry on Monday. Souths legend George Piggins will join actors Lex Marinos and Bryan Marshall, representatives of the East Timorese, Maori and Korean communities, Paralympians, artists and many others will be at the rally. The rally will demonstrate the level of community support for the Union, under attack from a politicised Royal Commission called by a Federal Government desperate to indulge in some election Union-bashing. A sea of different Union flags and community organisation banners will create a colourful scene and visually demonstrate that the CFMEU enjoys significant support from the people of Sydney. Part of the rally will be leaving Trades Hall Auditorium at 9:30AM, Monday 22 October and marching to 55 Market Street Sydney, the site of the first day's hearing of the Commission in Sydney.
