On Tuesday 17th Brisbane saw 5,000 construction workers rally in support of their Union the CFMEU and the new Line in the Sand Campaign endorsed by the Building Industry Group of Unions the AMWU, CFMEU, ETU & PPTEU. This was the first in large rallies around the country with Melbourne seeing 60,000 workers arriving outside the Trades Hall Council Building on the 18th and then snaking its way down through the city to Flagstaff Gardens. First, we hear from Troy Gray from the ETU who MCed the rally and then Zack Smith the National Secretary of the CFMEU before they took to the stage.
