Tenix workers 83% in favour of Unionizing - Please Help

That's the question posed by a strike which recently broke out at a Melbourne, Australia-based company called Tenix. After six years of individual contracts and no union, six years which delivered only tiny wage increases, a court-ordered ballot showed that 83% of Tenix workers had decided they wanted union representation. The employer's reaction was to try to force workers to sign individual contracts -- and to refuse to recognize the union. The workers reacted by going out on strike.

We've been asked by the Australian Services Union to send a strong message to the management of Tenix, saying that when 83% of your workers tell you they want a union, you really should respect that choice. Please support the campaign by clicking on this link:
