TRIBUTE TO VETERAN DELEGATE<br />
Kevin Jones, better known as “Jonesy”, was a real<br />
stalwart for the union and a true warrior on behalf of<br />
his workmates in the TNT Enfield yard and for all transport<br />
workers in NSW.<br />
A member of the union for over 33 years, and a delegate<br />
for a striking 27 years, on retirement in 2010 Kevin was<br />
presented with a “master key” to the <strong>TWU</strong> NSW offices – a<br />
joke on Kevin, who had said that he had been to union HQ so<br />
many times that he should be given a key to the building.<br />
<strong>TWU</strong> NSW Assistant Secretary Richard Olsen said that<br />
Kevin was a fighter who consistently battled on for his<br />
workmates.<br />
“Kevin never backed down and he was always looking<br />
out for his workmates. The TNT yard would look a lot worse<br />
if it wasn’t for Kevin and all the hours he put into keeping the<br />
bosses honest. He was an inspiration to us all.”<br />
Kevin is survived by his wife Norma and his two sons and<br />
two daughters.<br />

<strong>TWU</strong> TURNS PINK<br />
In support of Pink Ribbon Day, the <strong>TWU</strong> office and members turned out in pink and gave generously to<br />
support the many thousands of Australian women affected by breast and gynaecological cancers.<br />
Support for Pink Ribbon Day came<br />
from all corners of the <strong>TWU</strong> this year<br />
as members delegates and officials dug<br />
deep to support this great cause.<br />
<strong>TWU</strong> delegate John Visser from Toll<br />
Priority Bankstown always gets right<br />
behind Pink Ribbon day and this year<br />
was no exception - he dyed his beard<br />
bright pink, dressed in pink from head<br />
to toe and went in a Pink Ribbon Ride<br />
which raised $45,000 on the day.<br />
His workmates at Toll Bankstown<br />
supported him and donated plenty of<br />
money, making him Most Sponsored<br />
Rider on the day. A solid united effort,<br />
good on you all!<br />
At the <strong>TWU</strong> NSW office, a Pink<br />
Ribbon morning tea was held and all<br />
staff members dressed in pink and<br />
wore matching pink cowboy hats.<br />

Official Lee Lawler turned up in a full<br />
bright pink suit!<br />
There was a lucky door prize,<br />
delicious pink food and fundraising<br />
games which raised $650 on the day.<br />
These deadly cancers affect a huge<br />
number of women and the fight against<br />
them is ongoing so a huge well done<br />
goes out to all of you that organised and<br />
participated in Pink Ribbon Day!<br />
