Brisbane XXXX brewery workers walked off the job for a second time yesterday, striking in protest of the casualisation of their workforce.
The United Voice union, which represents the workers, claims owner Lion Beer is planning on creating a cheaper workforce by employing contract staff at a lower pay rate through a third party.
United Voice spokesperson Damien Davie said the union has met with XXXX representatives but is yet to agree on the use of contract staff, which is permitted under their agreement during seasonal periods.
XXXX insists beer supplies won’t be affected by these actions.
