Title: Green bans, red union :the saving of a city /Meredith Burgmann and Verity Burgmann. Author: Burgmann, Meredith,1947-,(author.). Location: 363.7 BUR Added Name: Burgmann, Verity, (author.). Subject: Construction workers -- Labor unions -- New South Wales -- History. Environmental protection -- New South Wales -- Citizen participation. Corporate Name: Australian Building Construction Employees' and Builders' Labourers' Federation.--New South Wales Branch--History. ISBN: 9781742235400 Collation: 349 pages. Edition: 2nd edition. General Note: "At the height of the building boom in the 1970s, a remarkable campaign stopped billions of dollars of indiscriminate development that would have turned Australian cities into brutalist concrete jungles and destroyed their heritage buildings. Enraging developers and politicians, but delighting many in the wider community, the members of the NSW Builders Labourers' Federation risked their jobs to preserve buildings, bush and parkland. Meredith Burgmann and Verity Burgmann open a window on a period when Australian workers led the world in innovative and stunningly effective forms of environmental protest. A timely new introduction reconsiders the impact of the now iconic green bans movement at a moment when workers' organisations around the world are fighting back against overdevelopment and global warming more strongly than ever before." - Back cover. ------------------------------ TF1253990 On Loan Due: 1 Mar 2024 from Main Loan 363.7 BUR -----------------------------------------------
