De Martin & Gasparini workers have won their battle against multi-national Boral and De Martin and Gasparini for a union agreement.
After rejecting a substandard, non-union agreement put to them before Christmas, workers took protected action to secure decent wages and conditions for themselves and their families.
The De Martin & Gasparini workers proved the power in standing together as CFMEU members and fighting for their rights and conditions.
The De Martin & Gasparini workers have won a good pay increase, site allowance matrix and retained their shutdown weekends and the RDO calendar. They did this in the face of massive pressure to concede these issues in the face of the company’s demands for an agreement that complied with the Abbott Government’s Draft Code for the Building Industry.
State Secretary Brian Parker stated, “The DMG workers have shown that by sticking together, being strong and being UNION, these workers have won a great Union EBA that will secure them, and their families, decent wages and conditions”.
The Union thanks all CFMEU delegates, the Building Trades Group of Unions, the MUA, Unions NSW Affiliates, David Shoebridge MLC, and all the activists and all the workers at Barangaroo that lent their support to the De Martin & Gasparini workers. This is a victory for union strength.
