Strike two at brewery

WORKERS at Brisbane’s XXXX brewery walked off the job for a second time yesterday and have threatened more strikes in the future over fears the brewery’s owners are planning to shift to casual workers.

The United Voice union, which represents the workers, claims brewer Lion is planning to create a cheaper workforce by employing contract staff at a lower pay rate through a third party.

United Voice spokesman Damien Davie said they had been meeting with XXXX representatives at the Fair Work Commission, but had reached a sticking point over their move to employ more casual workers.
