Letters to the Editor
Praise from Belly
We are all much of one mind here except the Building Industry Task Force who gather here in an attempt to understand what the building industry is.
So we preach to the converted in our letters to the editor and stories we love to read. But convert few to our side.
Is there a printer on your PC? Could you print out say ten pages of the best stories?
Maybe drop one the table at work or on the sports clubs table? Last week the 2 page editorial spoke directly to middle Australia, along with the half page story about one man's multi-million dollar, 60 per cent pay rise.
We must try to bring the other half on board or face workchoices mark 2.
No last minute campaign to win office; no waiting for others to do it.
Union newsletters are part of our history. Once handed out after dark, lets make them part of our victory over WorkChoices.
Allan 'Belly' Bell, NSW
