James Hardie Campaign at Telstra AGM

GARDS members travelled by bus on Thursday 28th of October to attended a rally organised outside the Melbourne Convention Centre where the Telstra AGM was taking place. Asbestos sufferers, their families, unions and friends gathered to send a clear message to Telstra chair and James Hardie board member Donald McGauchie that he should resign for not looking after Telstra employees. He helped provide golden hand shakes of 9 million dollars to disgraced Hardie executives. Instead he should have been making sure the Telstra workers could access compensation for their work related illnesses.

He was also reminded outside at the rally when he votes on the James Hardie board which interest he is serving? Telstra workers or the profits of James Hardie?

Below are some pictures of GARDS members outside the AGM.
