Australia under its new Labor government is seeing a huge revival of the trade union movement with new "closing loopholes" laws that strengthen workers' rights.  At the centre of the struggle is Sally McManus and the Australian trade union movement.  Sally is a fighter and is often quoted saying: "I believe in the rule of law where the law is fair and the law is right, but when it’s unjust I don’t think there’s a problem with breaking it." Fighting words from a genuine trade union militant.  Listen to our short interview with her.
