Workers
Memorial Day – April 28
Service held at Trades Hall Friday 27 April 2007 – 10am |
|
| |
The Victorian Trades Hall Council will hold a commemorative service
at the Workers Memorial Rock on Lygon St on Friday 27 April.
The commemoration is one of many events held throughout Australia.
It is estimated that around 10,000 separate events are held in
100 countries throughout the world to mark International Workers
Memorial Day.
International Workers’ Memorial Day was first marked by Canadian
unions in 1984 and was adopted internationally in 1996. Australian
unions began observing the day in 1996. In Victoria a memorial
service is held each year at the Memorial Rock at Trades Hall.
The memorial rock was unveiled in 2000 to commemorate those workers
who have lost their lives as a result of their work.

We
Built This City
Construction
and building workers’ greatest skills and experiences were
crafted and choreographed to build a roving rock performance
event which celebrated the great strength and skill of builders
in Melbourne who daily put their lives on the line
and rightly proclaim ‘We built this city!’
Directed
by Donna Jackson, We Built This City featured a cast of unionists
to form an industrial percussion ensemble coordinated by Mark
Grunden, a rock band with anthems written and performed by
Mark Seymour, the Trades Union Choir and a dance of heavy
machinery set to a grunty percussion line-up.
We
Built this City was staged at Scienceworks in the 19th century
Pumping Station which is classified by the National Trust.
