March 8th was International Women’s Day often called International Working Women’s Day taking all work paid and unpaid into consideration. We will hear some speeches from rank-and-file CFMEU women who focused on wins and on-going struggles. We follow with a word from a rally held outside the ABC offices in Melbourne one of seven held around the country in support of Antionette Latouf sacked from the ABC after posting a comment on social media on the use of starvation as a weapon of war against Palestinian’s in Gaza who ironically was facing a Fair work Commission hearing for unfair dismissal and discrimination on the basis of race and political opinion on International Women’s Day.
