News Rights At Work Worth Playing For
Both teams have recently landed a new sponsor, one that understands the pressures on those involved in grass roots football. The sides will be taking to the field wearing the distinctive logo of the Your Rights At Work campaign. Both the Central Coast and Nepean District junior soccer associations will benefit from the sponsorship of their flagship sides, Penrith Nepean United and Central Coast Lightning, by the Electrical Trades Union, which is keen to support junior sport. "We know the Howard government's new laws will make it even harder for working parents to keep involved with their kids junior sport," said Bernie Riordan from the Electrical Trades Union. "The Prime Minister is on the record as saying that the working week of Monday to Friday is dead. "All the protections and rights working people have had to make sure they can be there for their kids have been swept away by these laws. "The Your Rights At Work campaign is about getting rid of John Howard's workplace laws and giving parents back time with their kids and the job security to plan for their families future." Bernie Riordan will be handing over sponsorship cheques to Penrith Nepean United and Central Coast Lightning at 6.30pm, prior to the start of the main game at 7.10pm. The Nepean District Association is the largest sports group in NSW with over 16,000 registered players in 229 teams Representative sides and footballs from both associations will carry the distinctive Your Rights At Work signage as well as over 3,500 training vests, which will be distributed to the 229 Nepean senior club sides. Saturday night's game will be held at Cook Park - Your Rights At Work Stadium in St Marys.
