Waterside asbestos win Two court cases this month have given hope to 1000s
of Australian ex-Waterside Workers who have been exposed to or died from
asbestos related illnesses. Barry Robson [MUA Asst Sec, NSW Central
Branch] talks about the cases & the ongoing fight to achieve compensation
for exposed waterside workers and their families.
Workers want Olympics assurances LHMU members working in both the
hospitality and the rail security sectors have held separate meetings this
week seeking assurances on issues relating to the Olympics and their
employment over that period.=20
=B7 Hotel workers are expecting massively increased and stressful workloads
over the period of the Olympics. They are concerned they have not been
consulted by their employers on a range of workload, pay and OH&S issues
just 43 days before the opening ceremony. Mark Boyd [Asst Sec, LHMU NSW
Branch].
=B7 Rail security guards on Sydney's trains are concerned about ensuring
adequate overtime and bonus provisions over the Olympics period as well as
having a range of other OH&S & daily work issues. Sonia Minutillo [State
Official, LHMU NSW Branch]
Joy Manufacturing Update A few weeks ago we covered the Joy Manufacturing
dispute, in which 70 workers had been locked out for over 3 months after a
breakdown in EBA negotiations. This week we return to the picket line at
Moss Vale to check how things are going for the 63 workers still remaining.
Finances are low and workers are forced to stand by & watch scab labour
doing their work due to Supreme Court injunctions against the unions and
workers. But, says one of the workers Pat Woodward, spirits are strong &
national & local support has been very encouraging.=20
We also talk to AMWU State Organiser Wayne Phillips about an accident which
occurred at the company's Coniston depot where he says work from the Moss
Vale plant has been being done by workers who left the picket, much to the
anger & disappointment of their fellow workers.=20
