Dorevitch pathology staff lockout
Sixty-six members of staff were named in the Employer Response Action, sighted by The Courier, which directed them not to attend or perform work from 6pm on August 7.
The strike action and lockout follows a protracted pay dispute, with staff claiming they have not received a pay rise since 2007. They claim to have been offered a ‘zero per cent’ pay rise by Dorevitch.
The Courier has contacted Dorevitch Pathology and the Health Services Union Victoria No. 1 branch for comment.
