City of Greater Geelong unfair sacking of workers

Sacked Geelong Council workers are the meat in the sandwich

ARCHIVE: This campaign is now concluded - click here for the latest ASU News

The two workers were officially reinstated on 13 August 2009 - read the media release here with the successful result.

The ASU is appalled at the decision handed down by the City of Greater Geelong to sack union members Mick Van Beek and Peter Anderson.

The pair were unjustly given their marching orders after they filled in two pot holes that were hazardous to elderly patrons of the Leopold Sportsman Club last November during their lunch break, receiving two free steak sandwiches at management's insistence a week later.

Assistant Secretary Igor Grattan has announced the ASU will doing everything within its power to help Van Beek and Anderson get their jobs back. To support Mick and Peter, please take the time to send the email below to the CEO and Councillors at the City of Greater Geelong.

Your message: (this letter can be changed to suit your individual circumstances)	Dear CEO & Councillors I was shocked to recently read about the sacking of two workers, Mick Van Beek and Peter Anderson, at the City of Greater Geelong for what can only be described as an act provided by two Good Samaritans. The punishment far outweighs their alleged misconduct, especially as they were only trying to help elderly patrons at the Leopold Sportsman’s Club have a safe passage into the venue. I am baffled that the workers’ reluctant acceptance of two steak sandwiches, at the insistence of the Club’s manager as recompense for their good deed, constitutes in Council’s view an intent to defraud Council via deceit or monetary gain. I urge the Council to reconsider its unfair decision and reinstate both former employees to their roles at the City of Greater Geelong’s Drysdale depot. Yours sincerely
