Diethnes + Poster for Rocking the Foundations  (1986), produced and directed by Pat Fiske. Image source: http://www.bowerbirdfilms.com/films/rocking-the-foundations/ In 1973 a building on Pitt Street went up for auction with keen interest shown from developers to demolish the site. The building was home to an old Greek restaurant known as Diethnes which was run by a member of the Atlas League; a Greek workers association which was the home of the political and industrial Greek left in Sydney. At the auction in Pitt Street, Jack Mundey assured bidders that his fellow Builder’s Labourers would not allow any development to take place. Mundey imposed a green ban on the building for its historical and cultural value.  The auction scene was captured by filmmaker Pat Fiske in the documentary ‘Rocking the Foundations’.
