More Amcor plants walkout in solidarity
Yesterday [Wed 9 August] two more Amcor plants walked out in solidarity
with striking workers at Amcor Flexibles in Preston. A total of 11
Amcor sites across Australia have taken solidarity strike action over
Tuesday and Wednesday. Amcor workers from West Heidelberg visited the
picketline at Preston after walking out.
Building workers from the Laverton power station site visited the
picket and donated $3,000. Commitment to donate funds has also been
expressed from other Amcor sites.
Negotiations continued throughout Wednesday and the outcome of the
talks is not clear at this stage. However with the solidarity strike
action at other Amcor sites, offers of financial support and
determination by the striking workers, it is hard to see the company
winning from here.
