It is a month since 50 Carlton United Brewery (CUB) workers were fired. They were told that they could reapply for their jobs with another company that would then sub-contract to CUB. Their new positions would be on individual contracts, with no job security and reduced pay and conditions. CUB is part of the SABMiller group, the second largest brewer in the world, and is trying to reduce wages and conditions for all its workers. To effectively fight the power of global companies like SABMiller, workers need to step up and take co-ordinated industrial actions at sites across the world. You can visit them at 22 Southampton Cres, Abbotsford and donate to their strike fund. Solidarity messages can be sent to solidarity@aawl.org.au.
