The GMH managing director Arthur Gibbs warned up to 8000 GMH employees across five states could lose work if plant shutdowns persist due to a Victorian power strike. Most affected would be in Adelaide, with Melbourne Sydney Brisbane and Perth also hit. Power curbs have left about 300,000 Victorians out of work from factory stand downs, with 1200 car plant workers among the tally.

Bench rejects ACTU appeal in industrial dispute
A Full Bench of the Arbitration Commission rejected an appeal by ACTU President Mr Hawke to continue hearings despite ongoing bans and limitations. The bench, led by Justice Moore, said it would not sit until all bans were eased, leaving stand-downs in place and the case to proceed on merits if conditions improve. Hawke defended asking the commission to take a unusual step, acknowledging criticism for weakness but urging submissions on the merits. The ACTU backed SEC blue-collar workers seeking an extra week of annual leave and industrial action as part of unions' strategy, while negotiations with the SEC had faltered. Ian Douglas for the SEC cited Hawke’s submission as showing conciliatory pressure strengthening.
