Boeing strike ends

Boeing workers return to work today after management agreed to re-examine the grounds for dismissal of 3 union delegates. The company also agreed not to proceed with legal action against the union and individual union members.

An overwhelming majority of workers voted to end the strike after hearing that their comrades will remain employed while a private adjudicator investigates the original grounds for dismissal. Unions and members are confident that the delegates will be vindicated.

Amcor workers visited the picket today and were warmly received. Strikers at Boeing show their appreciation of the support they received from unions and the community by donating their strike fund to Union Solidarity.

Stay tuned Amcor and Boeing struggles will be celebrated soon with a function at Trades Hall. We will publish details when they come to hand.

Yours in struggle
