The union movement brings something greater to the table than just the numbers it can get on the streets. Those who marched on 12 June did so under the banners of unions big and small from across the state. They were construction and manufacturing workers; electricians and plumbers; nurses and other health care workers; power and transport workers; public servants and teachers; wharfies, firefighters and factory workers. Collectively, their labour keeps the wheels of the economy turning. Collectively, they also have the power to bring the system to a halt. This is the power that can make the Liberals and their mates in the corporate boardrooms think twice.
