The Event

Unions NSW presents Rockin for Rights, an extravaganza of Aussie rock talent committed to standing with the workers of Australia to overturn John Howards new industrial relations laws.

On Sunday April 22nd protesters will assemble at Hyde Park north at 11am and then march to the Sydney Cricket Grand where some of Australia's top music acts will be Rockin for your rights at work.

Come with your family and friends and be part of history at the SCG and send the message “we didn't vote for these laws and we don't want them”.

Since the introduction of WorkChoices in March 2006 some bosses have been
doing everything they can to prevent workers from participating in the National Days of Action. Before the November 30 2006 national sky channel hook up many workers were told in no uncertain terms that they were not to participate in any protest against these
extreme IR changes.

This time we're giving all workers the chance to come along on a Sunday and
have their voices heard.

Every band and performer at the show will be rockin out for free - giving
their time on April 22nd so that we can all have our weekends, jobs and rights
protected.

There is a limit of 40,000 places at the SCG. Entry to the SCG will be by the purchase of a wristband which are only $5.00. Gates at the Sydney Cricket Ground will open at 11.45am.

Here is a map of seating areas at the SCG on the day.

We urge you to buy your wristband get to Hyde Park north at 11.00am, march to the Sydney Cricket Ground and be part of Rockin For Rights.

Please make sure you bring some bottled water as the march to the cricket ground may leave you thirsty!
