Rally to commemorate 1912 General Strike

Posted 24 January 2012 by Ross Gwyther (Qld Division)

The Qld Council of Unions is organising a large rally in King George Square on Thursday February 2nd to commemorate the centenary of the 1912 tramway Strike, and the subsequent Brisbane General Strike.  It was during the mass protests in this strike that the famous incident with Emma Miller, her hatpin, and the Superindendent of Police, occurred!

You local branch office of the NTEU has commemorative badges and ribbons available if you would like one (see them below) .  You are encouraged to wear one of these from now until the rally!

Please print off the rally poster and let your friends know about it.
