COMMUNITY PROTEST - A FAIR GO
FOR ALL WORKERS
Thiess Services recently sacked four
workers who refused to accept an agreement which cut working
conditions for a lousy one per cent pay rise. The agreement was
being rushed through before new workplace laws come into force on 1
July 2009.
The new laws will
make this type of behaviour by bosses illegal. The workers have
since learned they have been replaced by backpackers. Thiess must be
held accountable for their deplorable behaviour.
Join the community protest to
demand justice for the sacked workers
