Wangaratta-based Bruck Textiles; who makes fabric used in Australian
Army and Victorian Police uniforms, lodged an application to terminate the
current Union agreement the day before the Federal Election and has since
given out to its workers five year sub-standard AWA's that will reduce
their rights and conditions.
Some workers at Bruck have not received a pay-rise for three years and the
company pays some workers wages that fall below the Australian Fair Pay
Standards.
With the Christmas break just over a week away and with the threat of
their collective agreement being terminated, the Bruck workers are feeling
extremely pressured to sign the AWAs.
You can help in preventing Bruck Textiles from proceeding with its
desperate attempt to exploit WorkChoices - before the laws are changed -
by putting approximately 240 workers onto AWA that will strip Award
entitlements and conditions and will last for the next five years.
The Union movement successfully helped to drive the Howard Government from
office and we now have a chance to see the end of its extreme WorkChoices
laws.
But until the new Rudd Government makes the necessary changes to the laws,
rogue companies will cling to the discredited WorkChoices and lock workers
into unfair and sub-standard AWAs.
You can help put some of the pressure back on the company by contacting
Bruck Textiles
Email: [email protected] | Fax 03 57231101 or 02 9366 3388
Demand that the company listens to the will of the workers by withdrawing
the AWAs and join the TCFUA at the negotiating table.
