Congratulations to the Concrete Gang for taking out the 2015 Spirit of 3CR Award, and well deserved it is. The Concrete Gang have been broadcasting weekly on 3CR for almost 40 years making sure that CFMEU workers are informed about their industrial rights, safety and encouraging a great culture of looking after one another at work. And full marks for comic delivery, making what could be a dry topic down right hilarious.

Get ready for some amazing prizes in this year's 3CR fundraising raffle! Tickets are only $2 each or 3 for $5 and you can buy them at the station or better still email us and we'll post out a book to sell.  We have some great prizes this year including a bike voucher from our most generous donors Reid Cycles. 

Thanks to some friends of 3CR and the Lomond Hotel for organising this fundraiser and giving us a chance to hear some uplifting music in the spirit of Joe Hill, IWW organiser and influential songwriter. A man who inspired Woody Guthrie, Paul Robeson, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen and countless others. $10 waged/ $5 concession.

You're invited to a special get-to-know-you day and fundraiser for Left After Breakfast on Sunday 1 November at the Port Phillip EcoCentre where you will rub shoulders with Legendary Luminaries and swap stories with other Legendary Listeners. Come lunch with us, and be part of our annual broadcast of Left After Breakfast. Good food, good company, good environment and a good cause.

Marxist Cowboys - A Commie Film event for 3CR

The curious tale of the Labor College's Labor Review, a Communist magazine which owed its 50 issue history to the generosity of Big Business. Not possible you say, but then you haven’t spoken to Karl Marx or a certain con-man. Premiere: Monday 5 October 2015 at 7pm. 3CR (meeting room, upstairs) 21 Smiths Street Fitzroy 3065

Listen to Stick Together this week as Annie McLoughlin asks President of the ACTU Ged Kearney about what difference Malcolm and his new Ministers will make to the lives and conditions of Australian workers?

Tune in from 7am til 12 noon for news and views from local and international workers, as well as all the details on events happening this May Day.  Live crosses from the rally and march in the afternoon from 4pm til 6.30pm to Stop Western Australia closures, and support the call for decolonization and sovereignty for First Nation people.
