2. Union Solidarity Coordinator Faces 6 months jail.

Union Solidarity Coordinator Dave Kerin is now facing up to 6 months jail
for supporting striking workers at Boeing.

The Australian Workplace Ombudsman has issued Dave with a "Notice to
produce documents" [see attachment] in relation to the recent strike at
Boeing. Dave is being asked to supply a government agency with all
information and documents concerning Union Solidarity, the AMWU and rank &
file members by May 8. Basically Dave is being asked to "rat", he wont.

Union Solidarity will not comply with laws and government agencies whose
sole purpose is to prevent workers having the ability to strike and
organise. In the last election the Australian people voted overwhelming to
get rid of anti-union laws, Union Solidarity operates within the spirit of
that intention!

We are asking you to indicate your public support for Dave Kerin and Union
Solidarity.
