SA: Union reps to meet on Mitsubishi today

Union representatives will meet at Mitsubishi's Adelaide assembly plant today to discuss
details of a redundancy package for almost one thousand workers.

The Australian Manufacturing Workers Union wants the package finalised within a fortnight
.. with the Tonsley Park plant due to close by the end of March.

Union state secretary JOHN CAMILLO has told ABC radio the workers need to know exactly
how much money they'll walk away with.

Mitsubishi has already indicated workers will get all their leave and other entitlements
.. and has promised a redundancy package in line with that offered to workers at its Lonsdale
engine plant .. which closed three years ago.

The redundancy package at Lonsdale included five weeks' pay .. and an additional 4.5
weeks pay for every year of service.
