Casino Workers take on Crown Casino - a podcast by Annie McLoughlin, Rebecca Maes & Tilde Joy.

This week on the show we bring you the stories from two protests in two different countries. We take you to Crown Casino in Melbourne, where hundreds of workers marched the full length of the promenade. Frustrated with stalled negotiations and proposed wage cuts, their protest increases pressure on the company in the lead up to football finals and the spring racing carnival.  Then we take you to Taiwan, where a group of international union activists staged a protest out the front of the headquarters of electronics multinational FoxConn. The protest was in support of migrant workers in Japan who the union says were the target of discriminatory sackings at one of the company's subsidaries. We speak with the workers at the centre of the dispute. As always, we have your weekly wrap of union news, which includes the big news out of Tasmania that means more sick leave for 12 hour shift workers.
