Sakata 2004 EBA Campaign
- Sakata workers take industrial action
- Workers at the Sakata Rice Cracker factory in Laverton North walked off the job this morning (November 29, 2004) over the company’s continued refusal to negotiate an Enterprise Bargaining Agreement at the site. The National Union of Workers and its members have been attempting to establish an EBA at the site for more than 12 months, with no luck. So at a meeting on Saturday (November 27, 2004) NUW members voted to take indefinite industrial action as of 4am this morning.
- No end in sight to Sakata dispute
- Workers at the Sakata Rice Cracker factory in Laverton North will enter their fifth day of industrial action tomorrow (Friday December 3, 2004) after management continued to refuse requests to negotiate an Enterprise Bargaining Agreement today.
- Victory for Sakata workers as dispute ends
- Workers at Sakata Rice Crackers in Laverton North will return to work tomorrow (Thursday December 9, 2004) after voting to accept their first Enterprise Bargaining Agreement at a mass meeting this afternoon (December 8, 2004). Around 130 workers from the site have been on strike for the past 10 days, following the company’s long-standing refusal to negotiate an EBA.
