improve the image of the firm among the stockholders or investors and to become
more competitive.
One of the downsized company is Clipsal.
Last June 12, 2008, the South Australian-based manufacturing company Clipsal announced it would sack 200 permanent workers and close its Nurioopta plant based in the Barossa Valley. The company indicated that there would likely be unspecified “flow on” job cuts in its labour hire workforce.
The sackings will take place when Clipsal closes its Nurioopta plant
along with a second plant in the city’s fringe at Bowden. Clipsal will
consolidate its operations at Gepps Cross in Adelaide’s north.
Permanent employees will be offered new jobs in the Gepps Cross plant,
an 80-kilometre round trip for workers living in the Barossa.
Management stated that permanent employees who cannot move from
Nurioopta to Gepps Cross will be made redundant, but not those from the
Bowden plant. The move will start later this year and continue through
to 2009.
A June 13 ABC Online report quoted the Australian Workers Union (AWU)
official Wayne Hanson condemning Clipsal’s decision, saying that
management has broken its word.
Clipsal was recently bought by the Scheider company which promised that
no regional Clipsal plants would be shut down. Hanson told the ABC
Online that, when the Schneider company bought the Clipsal cartel it
gave very firm commitments to the continuation of manufacturing in the
regional areas.

Without you
I know it’s over now,
I can’t believe were through,
If this is what you need,
There’s nothing I can do.
So where am I to go?
What am I to choose?
Remembering our days just makes me want to cry,
We tried so hard I know.
But still we said goodbye,
So where am I to go?
What am I to choose?
When I build my world around you.
Gotten use to see you smile,
Hear you whisper late at night,
Now I’ve got nothing left to lose,
Coz I know I’m without you.
If only fate were kind,
Then I’ll be holding you,
And we’d be like before,
But destiny was cruel.
Without you there’s no sunshine,
Without you only rain,
And if there is tomorrow,
I hope to ease my pain.
