Workers Power: Black Lives Matter

03 June 2020

Black Lives Matter

“The murder of George Floyd is a lit match to the fuel that has built up over decades” - Sam Watson of Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance spoke with Bill about the Black Lives Matter - Stop Black Deaths in Custody rally in King George Square this Saturday June 6th from 1pm, where over 10,000 people have responded to the event on Facebook for the Brisbane rally alone.

To protest safely make sure you bring plenty of hygiene gear such as a face mask and hand sanitiser, and stay 1.5m apart from those around you. If you are sick, stay home and support where you can online.

In our second half we spoke about retail and fast food workers around the world standing up and fighting back with action from; Retail and Fast Food Workers Union, Fight for $15 and Unite Union.

Workers Power is broadcast on the lands of the Yuggera and Turrbul people. We pay our respects to elders past and present, and we stand with First Nations people in their struggles for self-determination and land rights.

Join the Workers Power team on 4ZZZ 102.1FM in Meanjin/Brisbane as they discuss worker's issues and struggles.

Workers Power seeks to build the culture of trade unionism and solidarity by giving a platform to trade unions and workers to talk about the struggles in their workplace, as well as events and struggles outside the workplace that they are involved in.
