Comrades,

you are probably aware of the sackings of the 24 unionists of NXP Semiconductors Inc. Workers’ Union (NXPSCIWU-NAFLU-KMU) in the midst of negotiations for a Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The KMU has called for a co-ordinated day of action for Monday the 26th of May.
We invite you to protest at the local company head office as we issue the boss with a letter of demand.

The budget handed down by the Abbott government on May 13 is a decisive political event for the working class, students and youth. It marks a major intensification by the financial and corporate elites of their assault on all the rights of the working class. This offensive, begun by the former Labor government, parallels the social counter-revolution imposed across Europe and the United States.

The budget just announced has issued in the worst attacks on students in decades:

1.The government will be lowering their contribution to HECS by 20%
2.They are removing caps on fees so universities will be able to charge students WHATEVER THEY WANT
3.The interest rate on HECS will be increased and will be determined by the bond rate. ie. the private market. Students will have no idea what their HECS debt will soar to in the future

**** RALLY FOR MEDICARE ****

It's time to hit the streets and show our opposition to Abbott and Hockey's attacks to Medicare!

Come and rally with nurses, doctors, healthcare workers and generally concerned and angry citizens on Friday 30 May, and help us save Medicare.

In the latest budget, the Liberal Party have proposed a raft of measures that will push Australia's healthcare system closer to the cruel American model, including the $7 GP fee, which will essentially end universal healthcare in this country.

Abbott and Hockey want to:
