All this for $12! Old CDs can be donated on the night for the radio station or dropped into the Labor Council Union shop front at 377 Sussex Street. The Fundraising Concert is organised by the Construction Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU), the Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers Union (LHMU) and the Labor Council of NSW.
