Impact of regulatory and other changes on Australian unions’ strategies and campaigns, 2023–2024

Using social movement theory, the paper argues that the Australasian Meat Industry Employees’ Union (AMI…
The G & K O'Connor Lockout (1999) and its Aftermath: A Case Study of a Union Avoidance Campaign in the Australian Meat Processing Industry
The G & K O’Connor lockout of the Australasian Meat Industry Employees’ Union (AMIEU) members in 1999 was an example of a change in employer strategy with the objective of removing the union from its Pakenham abattoir. Chris Briggs’ research on the recurrence of the lockout in Australia sees it as an example of a “big bang lockout” which occurs against the background of legislative changes, a downturn in the meat processing industry, and other fa…
