MEDIA ALERT

Unions will rally at the top of Martin Place in support of new laws that would see industrial manslaughter attract a 25 year gaol term.

NSW is the last mainland state without an industrial manslaughter offence. Since the Parliament last considered a private member’s bill to deal with industrial manslaughter more than 125 people have died.

WHEN: Rally at 0830, doorstop at 0900, Monday 3 June 2024
