Strike over package

By Melissa Meehan
DANDENONG Visy workers will join over 400 workers countrywide to go on strike on Friday over an enterprise bargaining agreement.
The Australian Manufacturing Workers Union said workers were taking the action leading into Christmas because Visy had rejected key additions to their new employee agreement.
Visy has offered Dandenong workers a four per cent wage increase each year over three years, but workers are unhappy that other non-union sites have been offered higher increases.
Workers at the sites make cardboard boxes for clients including Victorian Bitter (VB) beer and Fosters brewery, and could have an impact on Christmas stocks.
