NEGOTIATIONS have broken down between brewing giant Lion and the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union over the Little Creatures development in Geelong.

Danny Glover, the star of Lethal Weapon and other Hollywood blockbusters, delivered a message to the LabourStart conference which opened yesterday in Sydney, Australia.

Here's why:

Management at Nissan’s plant in Mississippi is running an aggressive and sophisticated anti-union campaign against its employees who are forming a union to achieve a voice in the workplace. 

Here it is 2011 and again the Patricks union-busters are taking on the wharfies of the MUA here at Anderson Road West Melbourne site will be a community assembly - we remember the 1998 struggle - let's wise up and understand the past to change the present/future seehttp://www.takver.com/wharfie/index.htm

Marsinah was a 23-year-old Indonesian woman who had dreams for a better life. On the evening of May 8, 1993, on her way home from work, she was set upon by unknown assailants and drowned in a canal. No one was ever tried for her murder, but it is accepted wisdom that Marsinah was killed due to her efforts in trying to increase the poor wages at her factory.
