Organiser of the Year Nominations Open

Union organisers and activists have a month to bid for an overseas trip and the chance to work for an overseas trade union organisation as the winner of the third annual Organiser of the Year award.

Labor Council has put up $2000 to go towards air travel for the winner of the organiser of the year competition, which will be awarded at the executive dinner in early December.

To enter, just write 500-800 words about an experience where you've put the principles of organising into practise. Send it to Workers Online via the button below.

Entries received by December 2 will be judged by our panel of experts, with finalists announced prior to the dinner.

Previous winners are the Transport Workers Union's Bruce Penton and the Police Association's Bob Morgan.

For further details contact Peter Lewis on 9264 1691 or mailto:[email protected]
