FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Victorian government has stepped in to try to save another Victoria car parts company from going under.
About 100 workers at the Campbellfield factory of car parts maker CMI have been locked out since last Friday after the landlord changed the locks in a dispute over alleged unpaid rent, believed to be worth about $150,000.
It’s feared the dispute could affect production at Ford’s Geelong and Broadmeadows plants by the end of the week.
Manufacturing Minister Richard Dalla-Riva said the government had been in talks with CMI and other key parties about the company’s financial difficulties.
It’s believed other issues such as workers’ superannuation are also involved.
“The government recognises that there are significant challenges facing the automotive sector,” Mr Dalla-Riva said.
“We are working hard with manufacturers and their suppliers to address these issues.”
He said the government is ready to help CMI, which employs 500 workers in Victoria and Queensland, to restructure as it works to secure the stability of the automotive supply chain.
Workers are meeting outside the factory at 7am (AEDT) on Tuesday.
The news was better at APV Automotive Components, which stood down 126 workers without pay two weeks ago as receivers took control.
Receivers PPB Advisory said 34 voluntary redundancies, along with order guarantees and short-term parts price rise agreements made with the car makers, meant 92 workers had been able to resume work.
