NewsUnions in the Mosh PitBy Paul Howes
The 10th Annual Big Day Out will return to Homebush Bay on Australia Day 2002 and Unions NSW will be there too. Over 60,000 revelers turn out to the music festival each year to see over 60 local and international acts. This year's highlights include Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, Crystal Method, Sliverchair, Garbage, NOFX, Regurgitator, Gerling and many more (a full list is available at http://www.bigdayout.com) The Labor Council has organised a stall at the BDO staffed by young officials from a wide range of unions. Last year over 60 people applied to join a union at the stall and several hundred signed letters to John Della Bosca asking him to act on email privacy at work. In 2002 the stall will continue to focus on getting young people interested in unions and will also be providing information on how to get active within the union movement. A wide range of unions will be present at the Big Day Out which will be able to give out specific information regarding their industries.
