In mid-June, 50 workers employed by Carlton United Brewery, part of the SABMiller group, the second largest brewer in the world, were fired. They were then 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. These workers and their union, the Electrical Trades Union, have set up a protest camp. 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
