Circular 21-2011 - Union Dues Tax Year 2010-11

In December last year the Barnett Government released a report containing 193 recommendations to change workplace laws in Western Australia.

The report was written by a former Howard Governmetn industrial relations lawyer and could affect up to 300,000 WA workers.

These changes pose a serious threat to people’s rights at work. If implemented, they will greatly undermine many WA workers and strip away employment conditions that have been hard fought for.

Kalgoorlie-Boulder Mayor Ron Yuryevich has backed officers from Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison in their ongoing campaign against the rumoured plans to privatise the facility. Prison officers and their supporters gave Mr Yuryevich a warm welcome at a rally outside the council chambers yesterday morning, after he agreed to support the anti-privatisation campaign at a meeting with officers and representatives of the WA Prison Officers’ Union.

The Western Australian Prison Officers Union will try to attract more support for its anti-privatisation campaign when it meets the Mayor of Kalgoorlie-Boulder today.
