Latrobe Valley workers keep pressure on Elliot's

Elliot’s locked the workers out on September 12th after union members refused company demands for radical deductions in conditions such as reduction in RDOs (Rostered Days Off) and loss of shift penalties.
The action this morning coincides with an Industrial Relations Commission hearing where it is expected that Mechanical Services Engineering will attempt to make action at the Yallorn Workshop Assembly illegal. Recently Elliot’s was unsuccessful in breaking the solidarity of union members by trying persuade some workers to come back to work under reduced conditions...more background More info: 0428 528 255 | Family Picnic Day | Yallourn Workshop Embassy News | Donation Request Form | Media Release | http://gippslandtlc.com.au/ Labels: Community Assemblies, Lockouts, Yallourn Embassy |
