The committee are all going to start learning some sign language at each meeting, taught by Roger Strong (Southland Deaf Community President)
Protest
A protest will be held on Wednesday, 4 September, from 10 am to 12 noon on the corner of Tay St and Ellis Rd, Invercargill. Melissa Corbin, Southland Outreach Campaign Organiser, will lead the protest's organization.
The date and time were chosen to support the protest being organised in Christchurch simultaneously.
Support workers
The Branch will seek to work closely with the support worker unions (E Tu, PSA, NZNO) campaigns to unionise the workforce and win pay equity. That means DUNZ-Invercargill will raise support for their campaigns from the disabled community.
