The New Zealand Dairy Workers Union is engaged in a tough battle with Open Country Cheese, a ruthless employer assaulting fundamental workplace rights. When the union tried to bargain a first collective agreement to halt more casualization and the further deterioration of working conditions, Open Country told workers to quit the union or get the sack, set up a fake labour agency and put staff on its books to keep them out of the union, declared a six-week lockout, replaced the workers with scabs, dumped sewage sludge in the river and blamed the Dairy Workers. Open Country is bent on busting the union and further lowering standards by trampling on basic rights. The union is fighting back - and needs your support.
