LABOUR DAY - UNIONS FOR YES MARCHING FOR A VOICE TO PARLIAMENT

UNION MEMBERS ACROSS QUEENSLAND TURNED OUT IN THEIR THOUSANDS TO CELEBRATE THE LABOUR DAY LONG WEEKEND, FROM 28 APRIL TO 1 MAY 2023.

Members of The Services Union proudly carried corflutes, waved flags and donned T-Shirts emblazoned with a YES message in a strong display of support for a successful Referendum on an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament.

Executive President of The Services Union, Jennifer Thomas said in November 2022 our member elected National Executive and National Conference passed a resolution unanimously in support of the Uluru

Statement From The Heart which includes Voice, Treaty and Truth. “Reconciliation is core union business not just for our Union, but the entire union movement,” Jennifer explained. “As union members we have a voice at the table which gives us an opportunity to have a say on policies and issues which affect us at work. We believe, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People have a right to a voice on issues which affect them. It’s that simple! It was wonderful to show our Union’s support to the YES Campaign along with the entire Queensland Union Movement.”

Thanks to members, family and friends who attended a Labour Day celebration and an extra big shout out to our amazing Delegates, Terese Kingston and Di Forsyth who organised the Mackay and Cairns events.
