The picket line at Amcor Flexible stays strong! The workers at the plant have been on strike since Tuesday August 1 to support AMWU union delegates and members victimized by management. Amcor have targeted 4 AMWU members for forced redundancies including 2 delegates. background

Wider Support
Amcor strikers have received tremendous support from other Amcor plants. There has been solidarity strike action throughout Australia. Money is being raised throughout the union movement and many unions are committed to backing the workers 100%. The company has repeatedly tried to panic the workers back in the gate. All these attempts have failed. The workers are clearly saying that they wont return to work until the matter is settled fairly.
