Friday 25th July 2008 saw 100 Union Solidarity activists from the Western suburbs shut down the CSR construction site, Lyell St Yarraville. Workers and their unions on this site have a range of longstanding issues.
CSR have employed a man named John Kint who has an extremely bad history of eliminating workers' and unions' democratic rights through the Howard years, notably at Port Campbell. Kint has now told workers on the CSR site that if they talk to a union organiser they will be docked four (4) hours.

However Union Solidarity, as friends know, is less concerned with the issues than we are with the use of undemocratic laws against workers and their unions in the righteous pursuit of their interests. more... |
Telstra walks away from EBA
|
Telstra's Human Resources managers have decided to completely cancel collective agreement talks with its workers. Without these talks, the future pay and job security of Telstra's 32,000-strong workforce are at risk.
Telstra's HR managers can't treat their staff this way - and it can't ignore Australians' opposition to WorkChoices unfairness this way. Tell HR to get back to the bargaining table now. www.rightsatwork.com.au/campaigns/gobacktothetable |
