Concrete Gang - 10th July 1977 program

• SONG: Vigilante Man by Woody Guthrie

• Update on last week’s urgent update from Swanston Dock anti-Uranium Protest:
  Victoria Police kicked and bashed our comrades from Friends of the Earth, and members of the Waterside Workers’ Federation, including Ted Bull and Harry Bocquet who copped it bad.
  A big cheerio to ‘Jack the Hat’, and the BLs stand in support and solidarity with the Waterside Workers’ Federation - we back the wharfies all the way!
  
  Commentary: ‘our legacy to next generations is anti-cop and anti-nuclear’, and, with regard to doing right by the next 10 generations -  ‘...as far as I’m concerned, Uranium can be stuffed right up Malcolm Fraser’s… mouth’

• A recent motion moved to Black Ban deliveries to the Victorian Police Force.

• SONG: We Shall not be moved by Pete Seeger & the Almanac Singers - “ apparently the song they were singing while they were getting trampled on by the horses"

• A small update on Log of Claims:
  Contribution from Dunlop Factory - Hansen & Yuncken Job a month ago.

• NSW leaflet: 28 Jun 1977 the commissioner turned down the application for flow-on of 1.9 wage indexation, in a statement backed by the MBA. Some discussion. This is a new form of Penal Powers, Fraser’s Industrial Court & wage freeze, the catch-22 arbitration court. Stand up & be counted. 

• Tax avoidance business: reading from a recent article in The Age. 

• Some strange posters going up in smoko sheds, more befitting of the dunnies on site.

• Are pay rises pay rises?

• SONG: The Economy by Redgum

• Reading of ‘The Sunday Observer’ Rag Article: RED RADIO BITES THE DUST.
  “At last, 3ZZ has been given the flick, now it’s time to move in on 3CR…”
