Strike Call Across Australia To Support Metal Unions
The industrial disputes committee urged nationwide strikes to back metal unions in the margins dispute. A Melbourne meeting backed coordinating actions with ACTU shaping a five day Melbourne session. Full Commonwealth Arbitration Commission hearings focus on employers seeking to override last December's decision as unions face fines and contempt charges in Sydney and Melbourne. Eleven unions listed combined fines and pending cases, with strikes spreading to Queensland and Victoria as workers demand adherence to arbitration rules.
