Colrain bosses can hardly cry poor
|
Colrain management who are trying force their workers onto AWA's can't use the argument that their actions are driven by an economic need. A recent Maxitrans ASX announcement put their disgraceful behaviour into context.
"MaxiTRANS delivers another record profit: The Directors of MaxiTRANS Industries Limited, Australia's largest supplier of road transport trailing equipment and solutions, are pleased to announce a further record pre-tax profit of $14,036,000 for the year ended 30 June 2005, a 21% increase on the prior corresponding period ('pcp') of $11,606,000." Maxitrans owns 70% of Colrain. Meanwhile workers at Colrain's Derrinut plant are still fighting to reinstate a sacked worker who was taking industrial action in support of an AMWU claim for an EBA (Enterprise Bargaining Agreement). Colrain Dispute: 137 Swann Drive, Derrinut (near Laverton) Melways reference 39, G6. More Info: 0425 796 167 fergieeiffe@hotmail.com |
