‘Oh what a feeling’ it is to have your rights ripped away from you after spending years working for the same factory and producing good quality product for Australia. Workers at Kennon Auto have made auto interiors for Toyota for many years. Over this time TCFUA members have produced excellent quality products for Toyota but workers have not had a pay rise in 3 years. Workers last pay increase was in September 2007. TCFUA members are taking lawful industrial strike action in support of a fair and decent enterprise agreement with Kennon Auto; • that protects hard won working conditions; • a living pay rise for the next three years and; • a workplace that makes sure everybody doing the same work receives the same pay; • no loss of conditions. Since the start of negotiations in December 2009 the company has; • encouraged workers to resign from the union; • asked workers to vote INDIVIDUALLY for a second rate agreement in the boss’s administration office with management present and watching as workers were asked to sign the agreement; • not translated company proposals into the many languages spoken by workers and; • not explained the effects of the agreement and what workers would lose in the proposed agreement.
The TCFUA has actively participated in many meetings with the company to negotiate a fair agreement and wants to continue to negotiate with the company.
