In 2007 Australian workers all fought for our rights at work, and we won. Or so we thought.
From 1 July most of us will have access to the new Fair Work
Australia laws. Sadly workers at Marriott hotels will be stuck with WorkChoices for three more long years.
At the very last minute Marriott Hotels have rushed through 3 year
WorkChoices contracts.
Hundreds of workers at these hotels have signed union cards to say
they want a Fair Work Agreement not a WorkChoices contract. They want to have a say.
But they need your help.
Marriott's Human Resources are based in the USA. It's probably not
surprising they don't know how seriously Australian workers take our
rights at work. They might not even realise how insulting it is to us
Australians that after we voted John Howard's nasty WorkChoices out
Marriott (a big multi-national company) is desperately clinging to
it.
We fought for our rights and we will keep fighting for them if
companies like Marriott ignore what Australians voted for 2007.
We need you to send a message to Marriott CEO Bill Marriott in
America. Please help us fight for Marriott workers' rights at work.
