	Australian labour movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Australian labour movement united around opposition to conscription, largely due to vocal opposition by the IWW and Catholic archbishop of Melbourne, Daniel Mannix.
		In return the IWW ran a 'free speech movement' campaign in which over 80 members in Sydney were sentenced to 6 months hard labour (the maximum) for simply proclaiming their membership, which was enough to scare many others away from open defiance.
		The Australian Council of Trade Unions condemned the sacking as a gross act of collusion between Patrick, the Government, and the National Farmers Federation, and with the threat of legal action against the Government and Patrick Corporation, a settlement was negotiated to allow some reform with the MUA retaining its effective closed shop.

	Melissa Kerr \| Current Research Interests in Australian Labour History \| Labour History, 87 \| The History Cooperative
		Many writers have argued that the study of Australian labour history has broadened significantly from its early narrow focus on institutional histories and labour biographies to include broader social concerns, such as race, class, gender, the workplace, locality and the state.
		If labour history has been important in defining the identity of the labour movement, it seems pertinent at this time to examine the current research interests and research projects in labour history.
		Labour movement and ideas was an area that was cited as a research interest however, there were no research projects identified in this area.

	Labor and the Quiet Americans - theage.com.au
		The labour attache, like the defence attache and cultural attache, promotes US interests in countries where the trade union movement and labour parties are strong.
		At one stage, Bob Walkinshaw, the labour attache, sent the State Department copies of the NCC's analysis of the Australian communist movement, and commented that "Santamaria is generally known as an authority on communism and has been a reliable source of information to the reporting officer on this question".
		The labour attache, Emil Lindahl, watched these developments carefully and noted that while he was "brilliant and effective", his enemies "feel he is subject to flights of irresponsibility, including drunkenness, playing around with women, and brawling".

		On Mann’s return from Australia he became active as one of the key speakers during the period of the ‘Labour Unrest’ in Britain from 1910-14, and was arrested for his role during the Liverpool transport workers strike of 1911.
		Labour Unrest and Industrial Relations in West Scotland, John Donald, Edinburgh, 1996) was partly instigated as a response to an over-concentration on the unrest in England.

	PWHCE - A History of Labor Splits (Talk by Robert Murray)
		The the main method was to select and give ALP endorsement to anti-commumnist candidates for election to union office and to organise on their behalf, especially by stirring up pro-labor and especially catholic members to vote in their union elections.
		Santamaria and the Movement and their role in the industrial groups were constantly in the news from then on.
		Their right-wing, aligned with the Movement, was forced out and formed the Democratic Labor Party (DLP), which controlled or influenced the balance of power in national politics until the middle 1970s.

		Like your Fiji Labour Party, our equivalent in Australia (the Australian Labor Party) was also born at a meeting of trade unionists committed to fighting for a better, fairer and more just society for all working people, their families and their children.
		In Mr Kaitani's case, it was only the actions of the Australian union movement and ALP members of Parliament that saw him being given the short shrift and shunned by the Australian Electoral Commission officials.
		Persons like a prominent Australian garment manufacturer is also of interest to the our union movement and Labour Party, and we will be making representations to the appropriate Australian judicial and law enforcement authorities in relation to his alleged financial support for George Speight at the height of the May 2000 crisis.

	John Percy's invincible ignorance of Australian labour history
		Percy's labour movement historiography is so crazy, and his animosity to all spontaneous upsurges led by Labor or centrist figures is so total, that he can't bring himself to even mention the defeat of Labor renegade Billy Hughes's support for conscription and the role played by the Labor Party and the unions in that defeat.
		This attempted mental separation of the DSP from the labour movement, and the poverty of reading of broad labour movement history that this entails, only deprives the cadres of the DSP of any chance of developing any real knowledge of the complex and contradictory traditions of the labour movement.
		The complex and contradictory traditions of the mass labour movement are still one of the major social factors dictating the terrain on which socialists must operate, even in the 21st century.

	The Australian Labor Party, the labour movement and racism
		Intermarriage between Australians of different racial and cultural backgrounds is exploding in all social classes, and is fuelled in particular by the enormous cultural diversity in schools and universities.
		This vast and irreversible change in Australian objective conditions is the material background to all realistic considerations of political strategy in the labour movement in relation to questions of migration and multiculturalism.
		The ALP and the labour movement, for the last 50 years, have been significant initiators of the changes that have brought this new Australia about, which is sensible and initially reasonable compensation for the unfortunate racism of the labour movement's first 60 years.

		His account of labour historiography might have been clearer if he mentioned the left nationalist historians by name, though he does cite Boris Frankel’s account of the debates around nationalist myths and national identity in /From the Prophets Deserts Come/.
		Their summary of the late colonial working class, in /Class Structure in Australian History/ (1992), fully supports Percy’s contention that racism was a significant force that both reflected and helped reproduce differentiations within the class.
		But to deny that such differentiation, in a dialectical relationship with strong bourgeois and petty bourgeois influences on the labour movement, has an impact on consciousness and politics is to deny reality.

	Debate on Australian Anarcho-Syndicalism - Indonesia / Philippines / Australia Anarchist movement - Anarkismo
		Finally the 1983 accord between the ACTU and the Australian Labour Party created a framework for restructuring while at the same time the Communist Party of Australia abandoned the working class, leaving it largely defenceless..
		ACTU is waging a political campaign, hoping for the return of a Labour government, but in Victoria, unions have begun a different kind of campaign, involving a wide range of often illegal tactics.
		In his discussion of the Communist Party and its role in the Australian labour movement and Anti-Capitalist milieus, he fails to adequately discuss its contradictory aspects and legacy.

	The whip of counter-revolution: Australian workers mobilise against Howard attacks
		The centrepiece of the legislation is the so-called “Australian Workplace Agreement”.
		Despite the relative health of the Australian economy and the historically low rate of unemployment (based partly on gerrymandering of the employment figures through ‘work for the dole’), the Liberal government argues that these ‘reforms’ are needed to guarantee the health of the economy.
		The crowds’ cheers were reserved for the pioneers of the Australian labour movement, who rightly see the ‘reforms’ as threatening all the advances they have struggled a lifetime to achieve.
