Port workers in Sydney and Brisbane have started a picket on August 8th after nearly 100 workers were sacked via email and text message last Thursday night in what the company has described as a “difficult situation”.
Various organizations in Australia and abroad have solidarized with the port workers and their struggle. The WFTU Secretariat has issued a solidarity message, stating that it stands “by the side of the fighting workers and their rights to work, salary and trade union rights”.
