Workers at the FosterÂ’s brewery at Yatala, south of Brisbane, have stepped up their campaign for a union agreement, following a victory over the latest attempt by the companyÂ’s management to impose a non-union agreement on the work force at the plant. Scott Wilson, Electrical Trades Union (ETU) organiser for the site, told 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Weekly that the Yatala workers had voted by 154 to 120 to reject managementÂ’s third offer of a non-union agreement, which provides wages and conditions significantly below those of workers at other breweries in southern states.
