Lufthansa attacks Australian unionists

Suddenly, the employer takes advantages of new anti-union laws and tells you that your collective agreement is now a thing of the past. You're on all individual contracts from now on, and -- by the way -- we're cutting your pay by up to 15%.

That's exactly what has happened to 80 call centre workers in Melbourne, Australia employed by a subsidiary of the German airline Lufthansa.



In Germany, they probably couldn't get away with this, but under the viciously right-wing, anti-union Howard government in Australia, they now can.

Send a loud and clear message to Lufthansa that you cannot behave this way toward your workers and get away with it.

Please send your message now:
