Tue 15 April:
Boeing workers continue their strike action as the Federal Court has insisted on mediation between Boeing and AMWU to resolve the issue. A workers mass meeting yesterday (Mon 13 April) determined to continue the strike defying an Industrial Relations Commission order preventing all industrial action.

Over the weekend Union Solidarity was informed of plans to organise strike breakers. We strongly believe that buses containing strike breakers intend to break the picket on 6am and 2pm Wed 16 April. Union Solidarity has taken steps to mobilise our supporters to prevent this happening. We urge everyone to attend the Boeing picket.

Background:
The dispute started on Monday April 7 when Boeing sacked a worker and suspended another without going through the agreed dispute settlement procedure. Workers believe that another 8 workers face a similar fate. Efforts to the resolve the dispute failed with Boeing insisting they have a legal right under WorkChoices to do as they please. On Wednesday April 9 workers walked off the job. more background
