Campaign to Recover Stolen Wages

Andrew Vickers, General Vice President of the Mining & Energy Division of the CFMEU, handed over a donation of $55,000 to Charmaine Batten and Ravina Waldrewn from the Foundation for Aboriginal and Islander Research Action (FAIRA) to fund its 'Award Wages For Indigenous Persons Project'.

Andrew said the representatives "were deeply touched by the union's concern and generosity".

The CFMEU stepped in when the Howard Government cut off thir funding. FAIRA have already had significant success in QLD, where the Beattie Government agreed to pay over 6,000 underpaid Indigenous workers from various Government agencies.

FAIRA are using the donation to contine their campaign to secure underpayments for indigenous people working for Church run missions.
