AUSTRALIAN trade unionists vowed to win their “David v Goliath” battle with oil giants Exxon Mobil yesterday as their strike action nears 500 days.
Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU) representative and striking worker Troy Carter told the Star the strike over massive pay cuts was “a win at all costs, a fight for humanity.”
Mr Carter was in Britain bringing the case of Exxon Mobil workers to a European audience, building support and solidarity for those who have been on strike for 482 days.
Since 2023, Strike Map has evolved from digital mapping at a national level to organising ‘mega pickets’ — we believe that mass solidarity with localised disputes prepares the ground for future national action, writes HENRY FOWLER
RICHARD BURGON MP points to the recent relative success of widespread opposition to the Labour leadership’s regressive policies as the blueprint for exacting the changes required to build a fairer society

As Birmingham’s refuse workers fight brutal pay cuts, Strike Map rallies mass solidarity, with unions, activists, and workers converging to defy scab labour and police intimidation. The message to Labour? Back workers or face rebellion, writes HENRY FOWLER and ROBERT POOLE
