Campaign 2001 launched

Issue 

Picture

The Australian Manufacturing Workers Union launched its national "pattern bargaining" Campaign 2001 at rallies in Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide on December 6. Campaign 2001 is raising a set of demands for inclusion in enterprise agreements being fought for by workers simultaneously across the manufacturing industry. Demands include a minimum annual pay increase of 6%, a 30% loading and a minimum of 8 hours work per day for casual contract staff, and a common expiry date for all enterprise agreements. The campaign follows the successful Campaign 2000 that was pursued by the Victorian AMWU leadership.
