The union is defying that. They are refusing to pay the fine, and they are going to increase their efforts on the picket line.
It's vitallv imnartant that Fi or can ulal other trade unionists, particularly at rank and file level, join us and support us, sending resolutions through to their trade union executives, asking them to support the stand the NGA is taking.
victory for the NGA would be a victory for the trade union movement. And it would be a warning to the government that the movement is not going to accept their legislation.
