Closure Threat at Pyrmont CSIR Refinery Over Strike
The Pyrmont CSIR refinery, largest in Australia, plans to cease production tonight if the 104 carters and loaders strike is not settled. It supplies 4,000 tons of sugar weekly to NSW and also produces rum methylated spirits building hardboard white spirit and carbon dioxide. Up to 1,600 workers could be stood down if production ends. Managers blame lack of storage for stopping refined sugar output while talks consider a profit sharing alternative to the incentive scheme the strikers oppose. Pickets may block private delivery trucks to the refinery tomorrow in a bid to stop factory deliveries.
