Vic: Talks fail at Ajax, 10,000 stand-downs possible
MELBOURNE, Aug 21 AAP - Much of Australia's car manufacturing sector could be crippled
by worker stand-downs from today after car makers and unions failed to strike a deal to
keep a major component manufacturer from closing.
Australian Workers Union Victorian secretary Cesar Melham said Ajax Engineers Fasteners
workers were told early today that the talks had failed.
He said the company's administrators and car makers could not agree on a rescue package
for the company.
Up to 10,000 workers could now be stood down at Holden and Ford factories in Victoria
and South Australia.
Talks between Ajax's administrator and the car makers were held over the weekend and
had continued late last night.
