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.
