Supermarket giant Aldi is facing a class action for allegedly deliberate underpayments of more than 20,000 workers totalling $150 million.

Supermarket giant Aldi has been accused of deliberately underpaying more than 20,000 current and former workers more than $150 million through unpaid work.

The SDA claimed that while Aldi signalled it would conduct an internal audit of its workforce’s pay following the decision, the company had failed to rectify this and adequately compensate workers. The SDA notified Aldi weeks ago they would file the class action if the company did not fix its backpay but the union says it never received a response.

A union spokesman said it had “serious concerns that Aldi’s backpay plans are manifestly inadequate”, saying there was a “complete lack of transparency” around its calculations.
