Frew Kyneton                           September 6 2004       REDUNDANCY Following discussions with the Union, Robert Frew has announced that the Company intends to pay all redundancy owing to ex Kyneton workers in three stages:   Stage 1 Packing Room and Sundry workers to be paid by the end of September 2004. Stage 2 Kill floor workers to be paid by the end of October 2004. Stage 3 Boners to be paid by the end of November 2004.   SUPERANNUATION Frew has paid all Superannuation owing.   RE-EMPLOYMENT Robert Frew has also said that if they are able to increase the work currently being done at Kyneton, any additional jobs created will be offered first to ex-Kyneton workers.   FAMILY TAX BENEFIT Enclosed with this newsletter is important information for any Frew workers in receipt of the Family Tax Benefit.   Because most entitlements were paid to you on the last day of the 2003/2004 financial year, the current Howard Government may require you to pay back some of the benefits.   The Federal Labor Member for Bendigo, Steve Gibbons, has been able to persuade the appropriate Liberal Party politician to look into each individual case.  He has the power to waive any such debt. If you are affected, fill in the enclosed form and return it to Steve Gibbons, or directly to Peter Slipper.   THE FAMILY TAX BENEFIT IS YOUR MONEY AND IT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN FROM YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR MISFORTUNE TO HAVE BEEN DISMISSED BY FREW'S.   If any members have any queries in regard to any matter, please contact the Union Office.   Graham Bird
