Locked out workers picketing factory

More than sixty EPMU members who were locked out yesterday by multinational packaging company Amcor Flexibles are currently picketing their North Shore factory.

The lockout means the workers are literally locked out of their workplace without pay until they submit to management's demands.

The picket began at 8am this morning and will continue for the rest of today.

The factory is located at 9 Ride Way, North Shore.
