A public forum to build practical unity within the labour movement, for workers’ rights, social justice, economic democracy and environmental sustainability.

Often the most important things are not those that divide us but those that bring us together. The union movement and the left are faced with some serious questions about how to progress our struggle. Many of us might understand that action needs to be taken on issues from clim...ate change to the ABCC.
There are many amazing people that are contributing to this weekend there a sub groups formed from the list below and an elected speaker will talk at there session over the weekend.
If you have been involved in the union movement for 5minutes or 50 years there are bound to be people on this list you don't know.

Take the time to have a look these are the ones most likely to be standing with you in Solidarity.
