Keep up the fight against Work Choices and Racism in the Workplace

Workers at Thompson’s Roller Door factory in Turrella have now entered their fourth week of strike action demanding a collective agreement. Their struggle has been supported by three mornings of community pickets of between 30-60 people organised last week by Workers Solidarity NSW.

These pickets have, in the words of the delegate turned the situation around completely, seriously disrupting production. On Friday the lawyer of this once cocky boss verbally offer an agreement, which comes close to fulfilling the worker's demands.

Now is the time for decisive action. A big rally has been called for Tuesday morning to force a formal agreement and show ongoing support for this brave and determined strike action.
