Workers lose pay for helping widow

"Workers at a Melbourne construction site have had their pay docked for stopping work briefly to collect money for the widow of a colleague.

"The construction union says about 25 workers lost four hours pay after they took a 20-minute break to collect donations for the wife of a 58-year-old man killed on a Pakenham building site last month.

"Union secretary Martin Kingham says the company, Hooker Cockram, would have been fined under the new workplace laws if it did not dock the workers' pay for the unauthorised stoppage."
