Rallying for rights cause

By CASEY NEILL

WORKERS at two south east sites rallied for their rights on Saturday.
Aspen employees and supporters joined about 80 people from Nissan – just up the road – from 10.30am on 11 July.
The rally followed news that Nissan would outsource its Dandenong South warehousing to CEVA Logistics, making about 40 jobs at the Frankston-Dandenong Road site redundant.
Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union organiser Toby Paterson said the workers organised the barbecue and rally.
“It was a bit of a community rally and they wanted to send a message to the company that they were very disappointed with the outcome,” he said.
“Hopefully there’ll be a positive outcome. Maybe some of the workers will be redeployed into the casting plant across the road.”
