? UNIONS had two weeks to lobby enough state MPs to cross the floor against power privatisation, Unions NSW organiser Peter McPherson said yesterday.

Mr McPherson, Newcastle Trades Hall Council secretary Gary Kennedy and other union leaders finished three days of rank-and-file power industry meetings in the Hunter Valley and Lithgow yesterday.

Mr McPherson said the sale laws were set to be introduced when Parliament resumed next month.
