BRISBANE — "The trade union movement is facing the biggest challenge in its history" from the Coalition government's planned anti-union laws, environmentalist and former NSW Builders Labourers Federation secretary Jack Mundey said at the July 24 launch of Greg Mallory's book Uncharted Waters.
Mundey argued that unions today "need to reach out now more than ever. But in the face of the greatest threat to union rights ever, we face a chance to turn the tables. From a shrinking and retreating union movement, we can go forward."
