As nearly 4million workers lose their protection from unfair dismissal, some of Australia’s biggest voices are lining up to say no to WorkChoices.

Artists including Something for Kate, The Screaming Jets, The Whitlams, Youth Group, You Am I, The Herd, Hoodoo Gurus and special guest

Peter Garrett will rock the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday, April 22, protesting against John Howard’s new industrial relations laws.

The Alliance has described the new IR laws as “the biggest assault on our rights at work in 100 years”.

The IR changes reduce minimum working conditions, make it easier for employers to cut penalty rates and holiday loadings, and abolish protection from unfair dismissal in workplaces with less than 100 people.

If you want to add your voice to the chorus you can join protesters at Hyde Park North at 11am to march to the Sydney Cricket Ground. A $5 wristband will cover your entry to the SCG. For more information go to www.rockinforrights.com.au.
