Stop Iemma’s sell-off of NSW electricity!

Keep public assets in public hands!

The Socialist Alliance supports the Unions NSW campaign against the privatisation of the state’s electricity generation. Privatisation is a threat to our services, jobs, pockets and environment. But by working together, unionists, workers, students, political organisations and the community at large can stop the Iemma government’s privatisation plans—just as we defeated the Carr Labor government’s attempt to sell off electricity in 1997 and the attempted privatisation of Snowy Hydro in 2006.

Here’s what you can do:

Model Motion for union meetings:

1. Supports the Unions NSW campaign against the threatened sell-off of power provision in NSW,

2. Calls on the [name of union] to support the campaign launched by the electricity delegates on December 19 last year (see below) and

3. Calls on Unions NSW to call for a mass delegates meeting of all unions before NSW Parliament resumes to discuss the next steps in the campaign.

Together we defeated Work Choices! Together we can defeat Iemma and Costa’s sell- off!

Privatised Energy = Job Losses

privatised energy = less opportunity for planned emergency transition away from fossil fuels, towards renewables, to stop global warming

Greg Piper MP (Independent) is using the consultation website BangtheTable.com to host a moderated community consultation on the privatisation of the NSW electricity industry becasue "the NSW Government will not consult the community, parliament or even the Labor party conference." He will use the results of the forum to pursue his campaign on this issue.

Could you please help to spread the word on this forum. The more users the more powerful the message will be.
