Workmates cold-shoulder media bashers

SCORES of factory workers say they don't want to work alongside the thugs who bashed cameramen outside a court where nine men were facing terrorism charges.

Three of five men who savagely beat a Channel 7 cameraman and hit a Herald Sun photographer outside the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Tuesday work at the Safeway distribution centre in Broadmeadows.
The centre, which employs more than 500 workers, has twice been brought to a standstill this week as management tries to ease rising tensions.

At a crisis meeting yesterday dayshift workers were warned they faced the sack if caught bullying or harassing the men.

But one angry worker said he could not understand why parent company Woolworths was protecting them.
Are the workers being unfair to the men who bashed a camera man outside court? Should they wait until they have at least been charged?

Is the company under any obligation as far as duty of care is concerned to remove (potential) terrorist supporters from their payroll?
