As per reports thirty three workers in Woodside LNG Project In Pilbara in Australia may lose their homes, cars or other property for not paying fine for participating in a 2008 strike by the workers.
All the workers in the company were asked to pay fine at the rate of $ 10,000 for participating in the strike in 2008 to protect their redundancy payment entitle payments and to get guarantee of their re-employment on the next phase of the project. These 13 workers refused to pay fine. The management approached the court, which has directed to seize the property of the workers. This is the first time that such an order has been passed by the court.

This decision indicates that the courts are also moving on the line of neoliberal line and is proceeding on the capitalist path. Such judgements are intended to criminalise the workers action for settlement of their justified demands.
