City Gig for Joy workers

Date: 11 July 2000

Salsa super group BABALU and world music superstars EPIZO BANGOURA AND AFRICAN EXPRESS will feature in a fundraiser next week for 80 Moss Vale families doing it tough with their breadwinners locked out of their workforce by a ruthless multinational.

The Joy Engineering dispute is arguably the most important industrial dispute in NSW in 2000 and has devestated the southern highlands town where the factory is situated. A host of people who have stood in solidarity on the picket line have been sueued, including penniless students at Wollongong Uni, South Coast Labor Council Secretary Arthur Rorris and CFMEU Secretary Andrew Ferguson.

The night promises to be fantastic entertainment as well as a worthy cause. The gig kicks off at 7PM, Wednesday 12 July at the Harbourside Brasserie, Hickson Road Millers Point. Tickets are $10 and are available on the door on the night. Enquiries please call 0414 867 188.
