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.
Speakers at the rally will include advocates such as Patrizia Cassaniti, Unions NSW Secretary Mark Morey, workers and parliamentarians. The rally comes as new polling - which will be released at the rally - shows overwhelming support for the reform.
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.
WHAT: Unions, advocates rally to criminalise industrial manslaughter, followed by doorstop interview
WHEN: Rally at 0830, doorstop at 0900, Monday 3 June 2024
