Workers at Kimberly-Clark’s Millicent Mill deserve fair treatment when they’re injured at work — not months of delay, confusion, and stress. Too many workers have struggled to get timely and compassionate support under the company’s self-insurance licence.

By emailing key decision makers in the South Australian Parliament today, you can help shine a light on these failures and push for an independent review and compliance audit of Kimberly-Clark’s workers’ compensation practices. Your voice can make the difference in holding powerful employers to account and protecting the rights and wellbeing of injured workers.

Nippon Paper Industries own Australia’s only manufacturer of white photocopy and communications paper including Reflex – Opal Australian Paper.

In 2019 Opal representatives stood up with Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews when he said the Government’s “Victorian Forestry Plan” would secure the 1000 jobs at the Maryvale pulp and paper mill until 2050.

Rather than help hold the Government to their commitment, including their legislated requirement to supply hardwood until 2030, Nippon and Opal are shamelessly exploiting temporary log supply pressures to try to stand down hundreds of workers before Christmas before laying them off for good.

Nippon and Opal’s proposed early exit from white paper manufacturing will also put pressure on the jobs of thousands of workers in the hardwood industry, including harvesters and sawmill workers.

Don’t let them get away with it! They have over $18 billion in assets and should not put the burden of their Australian management’s appalling lack of strategic approach
on the backs of workers, their families and community.
