Workers from PPK Mining and Equipment at Tomago have walked off the job again for 24 hours over a pay dispute.
They're angry over what they say is a broken promise of a fair pay deal from company owner Dale McNamara.
It's the second time in a week the workers have downed tools - they're again rallying on the roundabout at the corner of Old Punt Road and Tomago Road today (Thursday 13 April, 2023).
Australian Workers Union Organiser, Cameron Wright says workers have also imposed an overtime ban.
"They've got more work than they can do, and from all reports profits are up, business is booming, the price of coal is very high. They're needing these guys to do a huge amount of overtime to get the machinery out the door. It's no good crying poor at a time like this when the guys can see that the company is really doing quite well," he said.
