Wollongong SWWAC gets max coverage for S.W.W.

Wollongong SWAC scored a 2 page spread in the Illawarra Mercury (11-12.11.00).
 
Interviews with supporters, including Mike
Donaldson (Sociology, Uni of W’gong) on the impact of longer hours on work and unemployment were placed against comments by Gary Bracks, of the Employers Federation who claimed shorter hours were a load of rubbish!  The SWWAC conference in June in W’gong was also used as part of a Sun Herald article on 19.11.00.
Good work the Gong!
