Around 50 workers employed at the Bitzer cooling equipment plant in the west of Melbourne, Australia are now on their 6th week of their indefinite strike. They have taken action to resist the company’s attempts to reduce leave days, reduce redundancy payouts, and introduced differing rates of pay for workers doing the same job. This strike has important ramifications for other workers in similar manufacturing companies as employers try to make workers pay for the ongoing capitalist crisis.
