Letters of protest

During the 2005-2006 DOU campaign, this space allowed readers to edit, sign and send letters of protest to RMIT management. By late 2005 over 200 such messages had been copied to the DOU committee, alongside another hundred support emails and, separately, the public messages of support posted below and throughout. Union Solidarity (Melbourne) published a summary of its exemplary work, with and beyond this campaign, in 2007; see here.
