UnionsWA will today launch a new 30 second television commercial slamming the effects

the introduction of WorkChoices-style changes to Western Australian workplaces would have

on the delivery of health, education, policing, child protection and other public services in

WA.

The commercial will be launched on YouTube, Facebook and the campaign web site

www.noworkchoicesinwa.com ahead of its official launch on metropolitan and regional

television this Sunday.

The launch comes on the back of this weekʼs news that the State Government is looking to

sack more than 400 workers from Royal Perth Hospital. Todayʼs launch will take place at Sir

Charles Gairdner Hospital and will be attended by UnionsWA Secretary Simone McGurk and

about 20 nurses and hospital workers, whose wages and conditions will be affected by the

State Governmentʼs workplace changes.
