You blokes and sheilas (guys) are doing a great job, my name is Roger Covel and I'm a wharfie at Patricks the unAustralian Stevedore at Port Botany, Sydney, Australia.

Thank you for your kind support, you and others like you make it much easier for us in the M.U.A. to stand up to the constant harassment of these fascist thugs. At the moment everything is balanced on a knife-edge and the final outcome is as yet unknown, all the workers and our union are rock steady however! The bullying is having the opposite effect to that wanted by the forces of scabbery and their rich masters.They've schemed for decades against my union, they've written special laws and stacked the courts with their cronies. They've gotten into bed with big business, they've tried to use some old hacks from the Australian commando's (S.A.S.) and finally they have used Blackshirt security (with Afrikaner Accents), mace and guard dogs.

M U A here to stay!

If you could keep me up to date, I will pass it onto my workmates.

Yours in Solidarity
Roger Covel
