Latham disputes over levy in Broken Hill bonanza claim
Sydney reporter notes Noel Latham accusing Barrier Industrial Council of turning the dispute into a money bonanza. He alleges unions in Broken Hill face a $13 levy before mid November to cover legal costs, with junior workers paying $6.50. Latham estimates real costs around 30,000, arguing the BIC could collect far more from a 5500 strong workforce if levies are not paid. He cites council support and the Barrier Daily Truth report urging $100 from affiliates as part of broader fundraising amid a Labour Council solidarity push.
