Advance Notice - there will be a Public Meeting on 30th November at
Brunswick Town Hall to protest at Email's decision to close the Chef
factory in Brunswick with the loss of 520 jobs. Join a United Front with
the Australian Workers Union, Socialist Worker, Moreland councillors, local
ALP politicians and concerned local residents and traders to condemn this
blatant example of corporate greed at work. In its 2000 annual report,
Email writes "management attention remains directed to aggressive cost-down
targets ... to increase direct sourcing from lower cost offshore ... and
cease local manufacturing operations." The average wage at the Chef factory
is $11.65 per hour. Email's profit last year was $94.3 million (up 20% from
the previous year), and its turnover was more than $2.1 billion. What
better way to mark the 1st anniversary of Seattle? For further details, or
if you want to help, ring 9930 1505 or 0418 365 771. Watch for further
postings in this forum.
