Community Assembly
Wharf Road Fishermens Bend (Off Todd Rd - Melways E12) Public Transport 235, 237 or 606 Bus Download and print support leaflet Fri 18 April: Battle of the meetings Yesterday (April 17) Boeing in a fairly transparent effort to affect a return to work organised a meeting of employees at Docklands. At most 200 turned up. Boeing promised to drop all legal action but only if they returned to work immediately and turn their backs on the union and delegates. (see Boeing website) Boeing attempted to organise a meeting inside the plant at 8am this morning. Workers instead attended an assembly meeting at 7am and resolved to attend another mass meeting Sat April 19 at the picket. During the assembly meeting Boeing attempted to dismantle one of the picket lines and organised a bus load of contractors to commence work. When the contractors saw the picket line however they refused to enter. Support Required: Union Solidarity urges its supporters to attend the picket tonight (Fri 18) and over the weekend. 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 on Wednesday April 9 workers walked off the job. Boeing then started legal moves which now see the workers potentially faces fines. more background How can I support the strike?
