AWAs being fought off at Minto

Come help 15 workers fight off AWAs at Sydney's South West. Esselte, a stationary company, has been trying to put its workforce on AWAs for two years. Each time, the majority of the 20 strong, unionised workforce has said NO! 

Howard has named the unionists in the company in Parliament in an attempt to intimidate the workers. Government officials have been sent to interrogate workers. 

One worker was interrogated for 7 hours with questions 'Why didn't you sign the AWA'/'which worker argued against this AWA'and so on. The workers have refused to be intimidated! They are on their 4th week on the grass!
