Breakfast at Minchin's office

Wednesday, November 17, 1993 - 11:00

ADELAIDE — On March 27, 80 people picketed Liberal Senator Nick Minchin's electoral office to protest against the Coalition government's new industrial relations regime. A breakfast was cooked for the picketers by workers from the Teys Brothers Abbatoir in Naracoorte, where for the past month workers have been locked out for refusing to sign individual contracts and have been replaced with super-exploited overseas workers. The picket was addressed by Janet Giles, secretary of SA Unions, and Jamie Stokie, a shop steward at Teys Brothers.
