protect the interests of workers in the maritime group of industries. In 1993 the
union was deregistered under S 193 of The Australian Industrial Relations
Act, which requires unions with less than 10,000 members to convince the
Industrial Commission that special circumstances exist that justify their
continued registration. The fact that this union is the cultural and economic
heritage of generations of Australians, was not
deemed a special circumstance by the industrial commissioner, while the
campaign waged within the organization to increase membership was met with
thuggery, violence and murder. By becoming an Associate Member* you will be
taking an active stand against strong arm, bully boy tactics. Details of your
associate membership will be presented to the Industrial Commission in
petition form when the union makes application for re registration. Application
