CBA bank staff stopwork
CBA bank staff nationwide will stop work on Friday September 1 after the
failure of enterprise bargaining negotiations with their employer. And, as
the bank announced record annual profits this week, staff are frustrated
with the lack of agreement on issues such as pay, staffing levels and
concerns over inadequate customer service. The bank has threatened to
introduce individual contracts, says Finance Sector Union Branch Secretary,
Steve McKenna.
SA workers protest on redundancies & job losses
On Tuesday of this week, South Australian workers rallied outside the
offices of the state Industry Minister in protest at his failure to act to
curb job losses and ensure adequate safeguards for redundancy entitlements
for workers. SA has seen a spate of industry closures & substantial job
losses in recent months, the latest being at Bridgestone & the Bank of SA.
Workers are concerned for their jobs and angry that the entitlements of
those who have been made redundant are not safeguarded. Chris White (Sec.,
United Trades & Labour Council, SA).
Campaign 2000
An estimated 25,000 plus manufacturing workers held a 24-hour stoppage on
Tuesday in the latest phase of Campaign 2000, which seeks to re-establish an
industry-wide bargaining framework for the manufacturing sector in Victoria.
Craig Johnston (State Secretary, Australian Manufacturing Workers Union).
Malaysian unionist in Australia
Balin Nair is the Asia-Pacific representative of the International
Federation of Building & Wood Workers. He recently spoke to a conference of
trade union delegates in Melbourne and outlined some of the campaigns he's
been involved with, attempting to push governments to ratify the ILO's

construction industries to become more accountable on issues of child
labour, freedom of association for trade unions and exploitation of workers
world-wide.
