VIC:High dollar costs BlueScope jobs: union
The Australian Workers Union says it will ensure 200 job losses at BlueScope's doomed
Hastings mill in Victoria will be voluntary redundancies, as the steel manufacturer sheds
jobs nationally.
BlueScope will close plants at Port Kembla, near Wollongong south of Sydney, and the
Western Port mill in Hastings, east of Melbourne, affecting some one thousand workers.
The AWU's Victorian secretary CESAR MELHEM says they'll work with its Hastings members
and BlueScope to try to reduce the impact of the redundancies.
