Behind are a queue of people including an ABC camera man, a teacher, and a building worker. Text below reads: 'FOR SOME TIME NOW, PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEES HAVE / BEEN TAKING MORE THAN THEIR FAIR SHARE OF BASHING / FROM GOVERNMENTS OF BOTH POLITICAL COLOURS' Small print underneath persuades members of the CSA (Civil Service Association) that joining the TLC (Trades and Labor Council) will offer them protection from the whims of government. Bottom of poster: 'THOSE MEMBERS WHO TAKE THE BLINKERS OFF, BURY THE MYTHS AND EXAMINE THE ISSUE / REALISTICALLY, WILL SEE THAT JOINING THE TLC IS A VERY WISE INDUSTRIAL STEP TO TAKE. / WE'LL BE A STRENGTH IN THE TLC'
