| At least 1,000 protestors have staged a rally in Perth and marched on mining offices to demand more jobs for local workers.
"We're workers united, we'll never be defeated," they chanted.
Members from a number of unions, including the construction, maritime and electrical unions joined the protest against the Federal Government's enterprise migration agreements.
The EMAs will allow companies in the resources sector to use foreign workers on large projects such as Gina Rinehart's Roy Hill iron ore project.
The rally was held outside state Parliament before the protesters marched to Hancock Prospecting, Ms Rinehart's offices in West Perth.
