From Wednesday, November 9 then ongoing
Workers at Baiada Poultry will take indefinite protected industrial action in their campaign for secure and permanent jobs starting this week. 100% of returned ballots have indicated a 'yes' vote for industrial action, meaning every single worker in the plant has voted to strike!
Baiada is a company that murders workers in order to maximise profits. In August this year, Sarel Singh, 34, was killed instantly when he was sucked into a machine and decapitated while working at the Laverton Baiada poultry processing plant. Singh is a casualty of a management that in its race to cut costs, has forced workers to clean machinery running at full capacity.
Baiada is also notorious for employing sham contracting, cash paid workers, over-casualisation and piece rates in order to undermine the job security of workers.
Workers are demanding an end to unethical and unlawful employment practices in the poultry industry.
Starts 6pm. Baiada Poultry, Pipe Road, Laverton.
