Victory at Amcor

It appears that the workers at Amcor Flexibles in Preston have won a tremendous victory.

The last desparate days management hired secruity guards to dismantle part of picket (quickly rebuilt) and organised another phone poll. Yesterday (Tues 15 August) a federal court order was placed on Dave Kerin Union Solidarity coordinator.

Details of the final settlement are yet to come to hand but workers and supporters claim the results as a victory. All legal action against the AMWU and supports will be dropped. Union Solidarity wishes to thank the courage of the Amcor workers who stared down management and the great support received throughout the movement.
