From Get To Know Your 3CR -- June 2011:

Who are you?
The Concrete Gang, CFMEU radio for construction workers.

Describe your show?
Construction industry news, views and scallywags.

How long have you been on the air?
Since 1976.

What is it about 3CR that rocks your socks off?
That they’ll have us on the radio. No one else will.

What’s your most memorable moment from 3CR?
Broadcasting during big blues as history unfolded like the MUA lockout and the 36-hour-week campaign in the construction industry. Also when Charlie, the poet lorikeet, dropped the F-word 12 times in a show.

Why should people donate to 3CR?
To keep workers’ radio shows like ours on the air, and help us get to our 40th anniversary.

You’re stranded on a deserted island with nothing but palm trees, coconuts, sand and stones. What people-powered invention will you create to get past your boredom?
Nothing. Just sit back and enjoy the silence and lack of traffic and no complaining bosses.
