Public reaction to pre selection ballot stirs labor unions
The September 23 issue of the Sunshine Advocate notes unionists denouncing a pre selection vote for the Lahoe candidate to contest the new Synshine seat. It cites the Victorian Railways Union and the Munition Workers' Union, now dissolved, with members aligning to the Iron Workers' Association. It argues Trades Hall Council affiliation and ALP rules affect who may vote and criticizes alleged dictatorial party methods while highlighting broader union support for Labor candidates beyond official bodies.
