You lot! Yes, you, read­ing your LJ friends list at work because it’s the end of the day and you’re sick of it. Or first thing in the morn­ing because you can’t get motiv­ated yet.

Leave your desk! Come march in the city nd cel­eb­rate life as more than just a job. Tell Howard his work­place reforms are digust­ing, that unfair dis­missal laws are import­ant pro­tec­tions you don’t want to see eroded. Tell him the rich don’t need any more money.

I know many of you have pre­vi­ously argued that protest is point­less, at least street protest…

Maybe… the old-fash­ioned kind. But we need to make this a joyous refusal to be who we’re told to be. A joyous refusal of the worker bee role we’re given. So: skip work tomor­row. Chuck a sickie. Be human and live. And go to the indus­trial rela­tions reform party in your city.

If you’re in Mel­bourne, I’ll see you at Trades Hall from about 10am… tomor­row morning.
