The ITF is supporting the November 30 rally in all Australian capital cities against the country’s draconian Industrial Relations legislation. The mass protest is organised by the Australian Council of Trade Unions –ACTU.

The ITF´s Durban Congress called on the ITF to assist Australian affiliates and the ACTU to resist the impact of anti-trade union laws in Australia and to work for their repeal.

A meeting of the Asia Pacific Seafarers’ Regional Committee recently held in Sydney strongly condemned the laws and supported the freedom of association complaint made to to the ILO by the Australian Council of Trade Unions.

Unions at the ITF event sent a support message to the November 30 events and pledged to ”join together with our Australian brothers and sisters to resist and oppose the implementation of these laws and will continue to work with our Australian affiliates in mobilising an international campaign.”
