A trade union body has been called into a Chinese-owned milk factory in Victoria after employees claimed they weren't being paid.
According to the Weekly Times Gippsland Trades and Labour Council secretary John Parker visited the Toora factory after employees complained they hadn't been paid for three weeks work in December.
Workers also claimed they hadn't been paid last week, despite their contract stipulating they must be paid weekly.
The workers were hired to clean up Visplus Dairy factory site, which is currently undergoing a $76 million redevelopment lead by Chinese company Funton Holdings.
Parker said after the visit the December pay issue had been resolved, but the union still had concerns about the company's plans for the factory.
“The Trade and Labour Council wants the company to go ahead and we will do what ever we can to help them,” he said.
“We want to sit down and talk to them about an agreement.”
If the redevelopment goes to plan the new site could create 150 new jobs in the region.
