The site, which is sponsored by the peak NSW union body, contains up-to-date information on women¹s rights at work including information on violence and bullying in the workplace, sexual harassment, discrimination and conditions
of employment.
The site will also contain healthy lifestyle tips, the latest book and movie reviews and information on what¹s going on in the community
