The Broadmeadows Assembly Plant was a Ford Australia automobile factory in Campbellfield, Melbourne.
The strikers fought off police and even managed to force their union to endorse them.
This strike was notable due to the huge outpour of community support, with the Glaziers Union refusing to fix broken windows, doctors opening free clinics and the local Greek Orthodox Church donating to strike funds.
The Broadmeadows Assembly Plant closed on 7 October 2016 after Ford ceased manufacturing in Australia.
