On Monday, 7 August, over 500 Dorevitch members courageously went on strike for 24 hours. Dorevitch management responded by locking out 89 members. These members are not allowed to work and do not get paid. This number is growing by the day.
In solidarity with the locked out members, all HWU members walked out on their jobs and remain on strike.Many of the striking and locked out members are single mothers, who have been supporting their families on $21 an hour.
Dorevitch workers agreement on wages has been expired for 10 years. Over a 12 month period, Dorevitch Pathology has come up with a pathetic 0% wage offer.
Dorevitch’s parent company Primary Health has made $1.2 billion in profits from pathology since the last agreement expired. Dorevitch management are attempting to starve them out.
Stand with locked out and striking members by making a donation to the Dorevitch strike fund today. They will not go hungry.
89 workers at Dorevitch have been indefinitely locked out from attending work in an attempt to divide the workers. Many of these workers are single mums.
Nearly 600 workers at Dorevitch are standing by them and we ask that you stand by them to.

One out all out! I haven't been locked out, so was fortunate enough to work 4 days last week...so felt it was only fair to give a little back to help those that weren't given that choice! Stay strong....We need a fair bloody go!!!
