Celebration for true – and new – believers By Renee Viellaris, NEWS.com.au, Australia
THOUSANDS of unionists spilled into Roma Street Parkland yesterday after marching through Brisbane to celebrate Labour Day.
The Plumbers Union, a division of the Communications, Electrical and Plumbers Union, won the annual trophy for the best union contingent with its entourage of 200 in its centenary year.
Secretary Jorgen Gullestrup said the division had humble beginnings in 1904 with only 13 members.
In 1908 it won the best float, and shared its five crates of beer and several bottles of whisky with the carpenters' union.
'The next time they decided to take the money (prize),' Mr Gullestrup said.------------------------------------------- posted 6:44 AM :: reference link ::
