Letters to the EditorTimor: A Call to Action
I an concerned about the current situation in East Timor. What concerns me most is the apparent inactivity by trade unionists in states other then Victoria. We along with our comrades overseas should do everything in our power to assist the East Timorese through boycotts and industrial action.The sooner the killing stops,the better. Do what you can today comrades and stop the slaughter.We in Victoria are doing something but we may as well be pissing in the wind unless we get the support from other unionists both here and overseas. John Maciulis
