RALLY IN SUPPORT OF SYDNEY HILTON WORKERS!!!
RALLY IN SUPPORT OF SYDNEY HILTON WORKERS!!!
*Saturday 5th October
*11:00am on the George St entrance of the Hilton
*(opposite Queen Victoria Building)
Workers at the Sydney Hilton have voted to take industrial action on
Saturday 5th October from 6:00am and need your support!
Anyone who could attend at this time would be much appreciated. However
the community rally will occur at 11:00am on the George St entrance of
the Hilton (opposite the Queen Victoria Building).
The strike follows the collapse of union-management talks on Monday,
over the hotel's plans to sack nearly 500 workers so they can implement
a $400 million renovation.
There are two outstanding issues:-
1. Some of these workers have worked at the hotel for over 20 years and
will only recieve 8 weeks pay as they are under a federal award.
2. The hotel will not guarantee total preference of employment when the
hotel reopens in 2004.
