On Thursday October 23 the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and UNITE will join forces to protest against two of Australia’s worst employers – Australia Post and 7-Eleven.

There will be a rally outside Australia Post HQ at 321 Exhibition Street at 3pm and a rally outside the 7-Eleven store at 237 Exhibition Street at 4pm.

The CWU, who represent postal workers, are protesting about Australia Post bosses getting paid more while workers are being asked to accept less. The General Manager of Australia Post was paid $2.9 million last year while new posties are getting their wages cut by 15 per cent.

UNITE has been campaigning against 7-Eleven for some weeks now calling on them to pay their workers properly. Some workers have complained to UNITE that they are being paid as little as $8 per hour.

Please come along to these two important rallies and bring union banners and flags.

3pm Thursday October 23 outside Australia Post,  321 Exhibition Street City
4pm Thursday October 23 outside 7-Eleven, 237 Exhibition Street City

For more information contact the CWU on 96009100 or UNITE on 93281555.
