Colrain workers urgently need support for picket line.

Striking Colrain workers urgently request support for their dispute after a car drove through the picket line this morning badly injuring one worker. The situation on the picket line is stable at the moment with workers receiving support but workers fear an attempt to break the picket line tonight.

AMWU members have been on strike at the plant since last Thurs (Dec 8) in support of a worker who was stood down without pay. Workers at Colrain have been resisting managements efforts to place them onto AWA's (individual contracts).

Attendance on the picket line is urgently requested from 9 pm tonight, Monday 12 December. Supporters are asked to commit to a 3 hour shift by phoning Dave on 0412 484 094 and leaving a message.

Colrain Dispute:
137 Swann Drive, Derrimut (near Laverton)
Melways reference 39, G6.
