Vic: Workers protest over possible creche closure at hospital

Construction workers angry at the possible closure of a children's creche at the Royal
Women's Hospital in Melbourne have put work bans on an adjoining McDonald's restaurant.

The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union says up to 30 children a day can
attend the creche while mothers are seeking medical treatment.

State secretary MARTIN KINGHAM says the union won't stand by and see the creche moved
or closed and says the bans will apply immediately.

A spokeswoman for the Royal Women's Hospital has so far made no comment.
