Australian workers at oil refinery win dispute

Coming in the week of the commemoration of the Westgate bridge disaster, workers at the Geelong oil refiner, won their battle for better health and safety conditions at their workplace. The dispute only lasted a week as the workers, with help from labour activists and the local community, were able to stop access to the refinery. While not all issues are settled, workers are confident that they will not only be able to preserve their conditions but also work in a safe workplace.
