Has anyone seen our 'phantom' CEO or Senior Sanitarium Management lately? They have been contacted by many people recently regarding the unfair work practices at Sanitarium. None have responded to the Union, on site delegates or their Workers to any calls or written correspondence they have recieved lately. It would seem that they respond to positive feedback regarding the profitabilty of the company or how the company supports the general community. What about the workforce who deliver the company profits?..Have any of them got time to address our concerns and the fact that we are hurting at Sanitarium. We are the very community Sanitarium often talk about but ignore! We demand a fair go NOW!
We extend this open invitation for any member of our senior management to attend an open forum to address our concerns in the community. We also want to know why they refuse our rights to be represented by our union whilst at the same time management have engaged two highly paid Solicitors (Fisher, Cartwright Berriman) on retainer. Is this law firm simply profiting of workers misery? Sanitarium does have a Human Resources Dept that apparently doesn't deal with Human related issues!
Does the Seventh Day Adventist Church really support Sanitarium's policies that hurt our families? How about reducing our wages when we get hurt whilst working at Sanitarium? Doesn't sound very christian to us that Sanitarium profits off injured workers!
The Church however may not even be aware of what is happening to us but here is their chance to come out and support us. Are there members' of the Seventh Day Adventist Church http://adventist.org.au/ that are prepared to speak out against these unfair work practices? Does the SDA Church support the Howard Government's Workchoices Legislation? It would seem they do if you have a look at our sick leave conditions that have also been eroded away even when Sanitarium was under no obligation to do so, even under the current Legislation.
We are organising a Community Forum to address our concerns along with other IR issues at Sanitarium and the real role Sanitarium plays in OUR community. We invite anyone in the community to attend so send us your details at sanitariumworkers@gmail.com and we will announce the details soon.
