Most TWE Karadoc staff to be axed union fears

The union representing Treasury Wine Estates’ workers in Sunraysia, in north-west Victoria, says it expects about three-quarters of staff at a packaging warehouse near Mildura will lose their jobs. The Australian Workers’ Union met company managers on Thursday to discuss the fate of more than 100 workers employed at the Karadoc facility, which is being shut down mid-next year. The union’s Victorian vice-president Ben Davis said while there had been some progress, it was still trying to get more detail from the company.
