Port Campbell stand up to IR bully
Union Solidarity turned up to the Port Campbell Woodside Gas Plant construction site on Friday 10 November for another round in the fight against IR consultant Colin Milne.For those of you who aren't up to date with Milne, he is the IR consultant and an anti-unionist responsible for getting rid of, now, well over 150 workers at the construction site in Port Campbell where decent workers are being forced to work 56 hour weeks. In a rather interesting, but rather predictable twist, Colin has now got rid of a number of subcontracting companies, bringing in Milne-friendly companies to take over certain jobs at the site. Milne's SAS history has helped him strategically cull the numbers of union workers at the site, and Union Solidarity made sure that Milne understood that Australian people will not tolerate such an attack on the Australian working way of life. A number of different site supervisors tried to harass workers into pushing through the community assembly, but it would seem the workers have had enough of Milne's scare tactics and his ruthless pursuit of good, honest union people because they refused. Making sure that people like Milne cannot impact the workforce is a good start to ensuring Australian workers maintain fair working conditions. A further update on Union Solidarity's efforts to keep Milne in check will appear shortly. background/previous actions: Port Campbell community stand up to IR bully |
