The Timber, Furnishings and Textiles Union (TFTU) has slammed the Bob Brown Foundation for its \u201cgrubby workplace invasions\u201d and unfair targeting of members in Tasmania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe targeting of workers this week across multiple forestry and timber worksites is unacceptable,\u201d according to a statement obtained by Wood Central this afternoon. \u201cOur members have the right to go about their work safely and without harassment. Interfering with active worksites puts workers at serious risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone has the right to protest and to make their case, no matter how misinformed it may be. But targeting workers is never acceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur union has a proud history of speaking truth to power \u2014 including through protest and civil disobedience where necessary \u2014 but decisions about land use, forestry policy and resource allocation are not made by mill workers, harvesting crews or truck drivers. Targeting workers is cowardly and wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
