ETU in Victoria cuts ties with the ALP

Submitted by Flowerpower on Tue, 20/07/2010 - 5:48pm

In a blow against the corrupt support of the Union movement for the now very much anti-worker ALP, the ETU Victorian Branch has severed ties with the party. It will no longer donate $80,000 a year to the ALP. This is entirely appropriate given the ALP keeping of ABCC and the fact that its Fair Work Act keeps so many provisions of Work Choices in tact.
