Westgate Bridge Disaster 50 Years On: Workers Solidarity Bulletin #26

Westgate Bridge Disaster 50 Years On: Workers Solidarity Bulletin #26

50 years ago a section of the West Gate Bridge collapsed in Australia’s worst industrial incident. In this edition we pay tribute to the 35 workers killed in the collapse, the 18 who were seriously injured and all of the family members and workers who were deeply affected by this disaster. Remembering also means that we remember how this preventable catastrophe happened and the callous and inadequate response from the bosses and government.

The objectives of Workers Solidarity are:

  • To assist to mobilise workers into a fighting union movement.
  • To organise practical solidarity actions and activities for workers in dispute.
