Eleven unions in NSW, representing close to 300,000 workers, have formed a Unions for Marriage Equality campaign, which may soon be joined by unions in other states.
Australian Services Union (ASU) NSW and ACT branch secretary Sally McManus (pictured) told the Star Observer the campaign was about spreading the message that most unions supported marriage equality in the lead-up to the ALP National Conference in December.
“We’ve come together because we believe the right of people to marry who they love is a human right and something we believe,” McManus said.
