Andrew Knox – Never Forgotten

September 10, 2021

On the 20th Anniversary of one of the most infamous dates in history we remember our Comrade
Andrew Knox.

Andrew was an Industrial Officer with the AWU SA Branch and who was on leave and going about his business in New York and found himself in the Twin Towers at that fateful time. For those of us, and there are still many we remember Andrew as a caring and competent Industrial Officer for our Branch.

Well loved and respected still by our Long-Term Members and in the Industrial community who was taken too early at the hand of terrorists. Andrew always made sure that nothing was too much for the worker and that they received their full entitlement whether it was a Workers Compensation matter or Industrial matter.

Andrews passing continues to leave a missing piece in the Industrial movement in South Australia and within the AWU.

Never forgotten.

    Vale Ferdinando “Nando” Lelli

    The passing of Ferdinando (Nando) Lelli is a day of great sadness, closing a chapter on one of Illawarra’s greatest labor leaders of modern times. A participant from Italy in Australia’s post war migration program, Nando’s rise from a laboring role in the Shipping Department at Australian Iron and Steel (AIS) to lead the biggest union on the South Coast, the Port Kembla Branch of the Federated Ironworkers Union (FIA), triggered multiple, turbulent transformations, within the branch and its industrial philosophies, particularly with major employers like BHP and the regional labour movement itself.
