Interview: Turning Tides ACTU President Sharan Burrow reflects on the disappearance of the middle class and what the union movement can do about it Unions: Fear and Loathing in Wollongong For four days this week, too much unionism was barely enough. We bring you the highs and lows from behind the scenes and inside the bars of this week�s ACTU Congress. Politics: The Group Hug Opposition leader Kim Beazley came, saw and conga-ed. Here's what he said to the ACTU Congress. History: Unions and Family Trees Trade union records may not be the first port of call for a beginning family historian, but down the track a little, these records could bring to life an ancestor who previously was just a name printed on the page. International: Fiji Bans Lifted Fiji employers are expected to start reinstating all their workers over the next week, now that Australian union bans have been lifted at the request of the local union leadership. Review: Room to Manoeuvre Full employment with a highly skilled well-paid workforce is a realistic goal for Australia, despite the supposed constraints of globalisation.
