“AMWU delegates are known as some of the most strategic, hard-working and militant delegates in the whole of Australia’s union movement.
“Delegates are the heartbeat of our union.
“The truth is bosses tolerate union officials, but they fear workers when they are organised,” Steve told the forum,” he said.
