Cochlear workers need email protestsDate: 18 July 2007
Successful Australian hearing implant manufacturer Cochlear, continues to ignore the wishes of its workforce to be represented by their union, locking the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union out of wage negotiations. The AMWU and LabourStart have launched an e-mail protest campaign.

Cochlear workers have also twice rejected the company's attempts to force them into a non-union agreement. Cochlear is deaf to their wishes. Cochlear workers have now been denied their annual pay rise because of their demand for union representation.

Cochlear workers have commenced a campaign to restore their rights to a fair deal negotiated by their union.
