The Newcastle Branch would like to recognise some kindness and generosity shown today by MUA members on Dredge ‘David Allen’.
Tracey has a 19 year old daughter ...with a heart condition (postural orthostatic tachycardia) which triples her heart rate as she stands causing low blood pressure and low oxygen levels in the brain. This condition results in constant faints, collapses and now requires the use of a wheelchair.
Unfortunately the high cost of their medical bills have made it unaffordable to buy a decent wheelchair.
Shaun Larkin, Stephen Murray, the dredge have put together the money and donated a wheelchair for them. This act of solidarity is union power,and community work in action. ✊
#unionpower #unionproud #unionstrong
These champions have set the standard. If you see Malcolm Turnbull, let him know what you think of his cuts to penalty rates.
