This strike has now been going on for more than a year -- and our campaign has gotten the support of 5,172 trade unionists from around the world. I think we can do better than this -- if you've not yet done so, will you support these workers? If you've already done so, please share this campaign with your fellow union members. Thanks!
Last year maintenance workers at Exxon Mobil’s onshore and offshore facilities in Australia received a shock when they heard that their employer, maintenance contractor UGL, was firing the whole workforce.
They were told that they could keep their jobs if they signed up to a new agreement that cut wages by 15-30% and other entitlements, and forced them onto new fly-in, fly-out rosters that tore them away from their families.
These workers have now been on strike for a phenomenal 350 days, resisting Esso and UGL from exploiting ugly legal loopholes that undermine workers' fundamental rights.
They've asked for our solidarity, and for us to send messages to the company demanding a fair deal.
Please take a moment to show your solidarity today:

Thank you!
