The fight against contracting out, lower wages and insecure work by CUB workers will soon be three months old. The 55 sacked workers continue to receive massive support from other workers and unions in Melbourne, while international solidarity is also increasing (see here and here). This struggle is becoming a watershed issue with a global company taking on a strongly unionised workforce in an effort to increase their profits by creating insecure jobs at lower rates of pay. You can visit the workers at 22 Southampton Cres, Abbotsford and donate to their strike fund. Solidarity messages can be sent to solidarity@aawl.org.au.
