Letters to the EditorOff With Their Funds!
I find with dismay at the recent rail strike by the RTBU, that Social Democrats have the desire to attack the working class. It is starting to show what side the ALP is really on. With the Minister for Transport office using the Young Labor members to attack decent workers who are fighting to keep jobs and keep the railways in public hands. We are now drawn to fighting the Social Democrats. Well, I think cutting off any donations from the RTBU will fix your antics. Paul Hayes RTBU Branch Councillor
