WORKPLACE SAFETY & PROFITS
OH&S Officers within unions continue to express concern over the high rates
of injury & death suffered as a result of workplace UN-safety. LEO GILLMAN
[CEPU Plumbing Division/3CR] speaks to OH&S Officer for the CEPU
Communications Division, MARGARET WILLIAMSON, about the links between
increased pressure for profits & high rates of workplace injury.
WORKPLACE SURVEILLANCE: WHO'S WATCHING YOU AT WORK?
is a public forum being held in Melbourne this week, to address issues of
employee surveillance & electronic monitoring in Australian workplaces. How
is the technology being used & for what purpose? BRUCE SHEARER is the
Research & Policy Worker with the Communications Law Centre, one of the
organisations which has organised the forum.
NB: The above forum is being held this Thursday, 1/6/99, 11am-1pm, State
Library of Victoria. Call (03) 9248 1275 for details.
One of the industry sectors most affected by electronic monitoring &
surveillance is the telecommunications & call centres industry. STEPHEN
JONES [Sec. Telecommunications Division, CPSU] discusses the impact of
electronic monitoring on members of his union.
ESSO CONDEMNED
The Longford Royal Commission this week brought down its long-awaited
findings into the explosion & fire at the Esso gas plant in Victoria last
September. Not only have workers had to deal with the traumatic aftermath
of this incident, they have also had to defend themselves in the Commission
against Esso's attempts to shift blame for the explosion onto individual
employees. BILL SHORTEN [AWU State Sec.] gives his response to the findings
which clearly blame Esso for failing to adequately inform/train employees.
