Amcor workers hold their nerve

Community Assembly
5.45am Wed 9 August
Amcor Flexibles
29 Bell St
Preston
[Between Chifley Dv and Albert St]

Striking workers at Amcor Flexibles in Preston are buoyed by the news that 9 other Amcor plants across Australia took solidarity action today. Another hopeful sign was news that a high-powered meeting between Amcor top management and senior officials from the AMWU is going to be held tomorrow [Wed Aug 9] at 10am.

Local Amcor managers tried yet again to panic the workers back in the gate with rather comical results. Lets just say that sparks flew and we all felt warmer. Although there are positive signs the workers still require wider trade union and community support.
