Victorian construction workers protest against government restrictions and mandates

36 Comments

Highlights from Victorian construction workers protesting on Elizabeth Street, Melbourne. The protest was a part of a series of demonstrations by construction workers in response to new workplace restrictions.

These street lunchroom protests are a being claimed as a coordinated action by unions in response to restrictions on lunchrooms, so therefore the workers are only protesting during their defined break periods by having lunch/smoko on the street.

Union leaders have said these are not protests, and are just workers having their lunch on the streets because of the inability to work within the CHO directions. The actions have caused disruptions to the road and transport network within the city and outer suburbs.

Speaking to people from these worksites off camera, they have a mix of views and concerns, mandatory vaccination is one of them (however the unions don’t publicly support them on this matter).

Victorian workers have only a few days left until they will no longer be allowed on worksites without providing proof they have had at least 1 dose of the vaccine.

Some workers claim they are also protesting against the unions for not backing their workforce against government overreach into their ability to make free informed decisions about their decision to vaccinate.

  1. The Australian people are capable of a build back better society without the elite that have destroyed everything good to line their own pockets
    Time for a true leader to rule out the ruling class.

  2. Pandemonium:
    I'VE NEVER HAD SO MUCH ANGER IN ME. 🟠
    An anger that is almost serene, tragic, deeply rooted in my animal nature,
    in my innate instinct to preserve the species and its dignity.
    🧡Beyond the love of my fellow man,
    was even substituted the primal instinct.
    I may be fighting not so much for the love of my
    my neighbour than by the unbearable damage
    the species to which I belong.
    WHERE HAS YOUR SURVIVAL INSTINCT GONE?
    THE V… 🟢 ARE BULLETS THAT YOU YOURSELF INTRODUCE INTO YOUR BODY 🟠 ….
    BUT HOW CAN WE TELL YOU THAT YOU MUST NOT TAKE THE NEXT DOSE, THAT THE NEXT ONE MAY WELL KILL YOU?
    Can you see that they are your enemies?
    NO?

  7. Good to see Aussies FINALLY standing up in greater numbers! Good on the construction workers, and the truckers too. Workers in ALL industries that have been impacted by our criminal governments, and NOT supported by their unions, need to follow this fine example. The freedom rallies around the country seem to be gathering momentum too – and the courage of those who have gone out in Melbourne and Sydney, despite the Gestapo-like police brutality, is absolutely admirable.

  10. The worms are so busy competing to eat manure they haven't realised it's just mediocre donkeys selling the same old broken clock once again.

    They said quarantine would work and it didn't. They promised the vaccine would fix lockdowns 4th dose ain't working.

    The free market worshipers who lobby for preferencial socialism for themselves have lost control.

    This is corporate fascism not representative democracy. Shameful

  17. Freedom fighters are the real brave human beings on the world. Almighty God is with you all.Almighty God removes all evil psychopath fascist governments & evil systems by freedom fighters. Love & respect for freedom fighters

  18. The real men of Australia standing up for what's important. Freedom. As for the MSM lying press corp. Weak little men who have probably never broken a sweat from a hard days work in there lives.

  34. This is the kind of protest that is effective, non-violent and gets the message across. The public can get behind it. The construction worker protests that followed were infiltrated by violent anti-lockdown losers who gave the construction industry a very bad name and resulted in police action. Booooo! to the anti-lockdown and far right infiltrators who wrecked it and forced the police to respond.
