Employees in the Australian Workers Union are expected to take their fight for job security to state Parliament this morning.
Hundreds of Alcoa employees are expected to rally opposite Parliament House today with the fight for job security extending the two week mark.
On August 7 Alcoa employees in the Australian Workers Union voted unanimously to walk off the job, fed up with the company's inability to meet job demands.
The AWU and Alcoa have been in an 18-month long battle over an enterprise bargaining agreement, with the union fighting for job security to ensure workers jobs remain local and not outsourced.
The rally has been organised to take place at Solidarity Park, across from Parliament House in West Perth, at 11:30am on Wednesday.
AWU WA State Secretary Mike Zoetbrood said on August 17 employees again voted to continue strike action indefinitely.
"Workers will not accept an agreement that offers zero in the way of job security," he said.
"Our members are sensible and only want what is fair and reasonable - a secure and good job.
"If the company will not offer workers any job security then the agreement is not worth the paper it is written on."
Alcoa said it was disappointed the AWU is continuing industrial action against the company's Western Australian locations.
"This action is unnecessary and will only serve to impact employees through lost earnings," a statement from the company said.
"After more than 18 months of intensive negotiations with the AWU, we have invited our employees to vote on the new EBA later this month.
"Alcoa wants to continue to attract and retain the best people to run our operations, so we have offered employees a generous EBA that provides income growth on top of their already very competitive pay and conditions.
"It includes provisions that are better than the market including a 14% superannuation contribution and an extended Sick Leave Program with two years’ income support.
"The EBA also maintains many of the provisions we know our employees value including a 36-hour work week and the opportunity to earn extra income through supplementary shifts."
Workers at the Pinjarra, Wagerup and Kwinana refineries and the Huntley and Willowdale bauxite mines are expected to continue striking, unpaid.
