Spiritual Eureka

They carried the flag through the town on May 1 in one of the first May Day marches in the world.

And it has continued to fly over the countless struggles of working people and communities around the country ever since. As a construction worker, I take great inspiration from the history of the militant Builders Labourers Federation BLF , which adopted the flag on the hundredth anniversary of Eureka in and proudly rallied under it throughout the struggles of their remarkable history. But it is not just a flag for construction workers.

It was there when meatworkers in Brisbane picketed in the s. It was there when shipbuilders went on strike and occupied the dockyards of Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour in It was there when the entire union movement and wider community fought to defend the wharfies and the MUA in It flew high above the camp of the maintenance workers at CUB in their day epic struggle last year. Today it flies high at the camp of the coalminers at Oaky North in Queensland who have been locked out of their workplace by multinational mining giant, Glencore, for more than days.

And of course, it flies proudly at the camp of the Longford maintenance workers in their determined and courageous fight against ExxonMobil.

Editorial Reviews

Whenever ordinary working people come together to take a stand for their rights and liberties, for justice and a fair go, the example of the Eureka rebellion will be relevant. There is no denying the working class and the union movement in Australia face challenges at the moment. Industrial relations laws in Australia are some of the strictest and harshest in the developed world.
