Victorian Trades Hall Council Cnr: Lygon & Victoria Streets Carlton

Australia Post’s Chief Operating Officer Jim Marshall has rejected EBA 7 talks with the union. This follows the Union acting in good faith by withdrawing all active protected industrial action in place.

Please note that this means all overtime bans and partial work bans are now lifted. The union however has notified for STOPPAGES for Tuesday 22/12/09, Wednesday 23/12/09 and Thursday 24/12/09. Please note that there are no directions in place for these and that these are all VOLUNTARY with the exception of the above MASS MEETING & RALLY.

Communication Workers Union Victoria

Here inside australia the local postal workers union has decided on "no stamps necessary on xmas mail" tactic to use direct action on the job and upset the profit seeking Bosses...

So from Monday send a card to your rellies for Xmas, or a protest letter to a Politician or Boss & see what happens - mail without stamp. see
