Oakdale Miners
The struggle of workers from the Oakdale mine in NSW was the focus of a
24-hour strike by coal miners around the country last Friday, after talks
between the CFMEU & 3 government ministers broke down earlier in the week.
At stake is the $6.3 million of entitlements owed to the miners after their
mine closed down in May of this year. And at issue is the question of who's
responsible for corporate closures which leave workers without their legal
and hard-earned entitlements. Trevor Williams [ex-worker & CFMEU branch
representative] explains how things are going for the Oakdale miners &
their community.
SA Nurses "Work-in"
SA nurses at the Flinders Medical Centre were last week engaged in an
interesting and seemingly quite effective style of industrial action, in
response to massive cuts to public health in SA & threatened bed closures
at their hospital. Refusing to discharge patients or close beds, they
staged a "work-in" which gained the support of doctors, health services
staff and the general public according to Gayle Gago [State Secretary, ANF]
"Just Say No!"
Workers & community activists around the country staged mass rallies last
week at the beginning of a 3 week campaign protesting against the Reith 2nd
Wave ammendments to the Workplace Relations Act & calling for the Democrats
to "just say no". Kicking off in WA on Tuesday 10, similar rallies are
planned for all states & regional centres leading up to the August 26
finale in Canberra. Chris White [SAUTLC] & Lynne Fitzgerald [TasTLC]
explain what their respective states are doing as part of this campaign.
