ABM Plastics protest

Issue 

MELBOURNE — Workers sacked from the ABM Plastics factory in Braeside held a barbeque outside the K&K Plastics factory in Clayton on March 8. They had received information indicating that some of the production formerly carried out at ABM Plastics might be transferred to K&K Plastics, which they suspect ABM Plastics owner Abe Waisman has some involvement in.

The workers are demanding the payment of $2.5 million in entitlements owed to them.

About 30 workers attended the barbeque at K&K, while others maintained the picket line which continues round the clock at the ABM Plastics factory at 56-62 Tarnard Drive, Braeside. Those wishing to register for the picket roster should phone 0421 329 881.
