unsafe conditions

Union and solidarity activists protested outside the annual general meeting of Ansell because of its anti-union policies. Chris Slee reports.

Three hundred workers assembled at the entry of the Geelong oil refinery on October 7 for a community protest against unsafe conditions at the refinery.

The 60-year-old refinery, previously operated by Shell, was bought by Viva Energy Australia in August 2014, and it immediately pledged $150 million for maintenance work.
