14 workers at Tronics in Thomastown are taking industrial action to ensure they get an enforceable EBA. Workers have nearly bedded down the agreement the sticking point is how is the EBA going to be enforced. Management wants all disputes to be conciliated at the plant; unions want the AIRC to arbitrate on future disagreements. Union members fear that if management gets their way the union negotiated EBA will come under threat.
