Australia: Bridgestone suspends Salisbury operations for three days

摘要

BRIDGESTONE has stalled operations at its tyre plant in Salisbury, Adelaide, for three days, beginning 27 March, due to ongoing industrial action by the facility's 600 workers, reports Australian newspaper The Courier Mail. Unions at the Salisbury plant are demanding a 4% hike in pay every year for the next three years as opposed to the company's offer of 6% over the three years along with cash incentives and productivity bonuses. According to Bridgestone, the new pay package provides a framework for necessary productivity improvements along with a proposal offering employees financial rewards.
