Thousands of construction workers from the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union, marched through Sydney on April 5 to demand protection from silicosis. They also called on Labor governments to keep their promises to remove anti-union laws.
Construction workers, and others, also marched in other major cities the same day.
