This morning striking AMWU workers at Amcor Flexibles in Preston decided to continue their strike. They now require your support.
Amcor Flexibles
29 Bell St
Preston
[Between Albert St and Chifley Drive]
• Visit the 24hour community assembly!
• Donate to the strike fund
• Spread the word
The picket line at Amcor Flexible stays strong! The workers at the plant have been on strike since Tuesday August 1 to support AMWU union delegates and members victimized by management. Amcor have targeted 4 AMWU members for forced redundancies including 2 delegates. background
Wider Support
Amcor strikers have received tremendous support from other Amcor plants. There has been solidarity strike action throughout Australia. Money is being raised throughout the union movement and many unions are committed to backing the workers 100%. The company has repeatedly tried to panic the workers back in the gate. All these attempts have failed. The workers are clearly saying that they wont return to work until the matter is settled fairly.
