Thousands rally around Australia for Right on Site, tomorrow
Thousands of workers and their families will turn out in rallies around the country tomorrow,
Friday the 30th of October in support of South Australian construction worker, Ark Tribe, who
faces up to six months jail for a matter related to workplace safety.
Rallies will be held in almost every capital city around Australia as Mr Tribe appears before
the court in Adelaide tomorrow.
Under the Federal Government’s construction industry laws, Mr Tribe faces jail time for
allegedly failing to attend a compulsory interrogation by the Australian Building and
