A nationwide strike by Woolworths warehouse workers is causing nationwide shortages as the holiday shopping season approaches. The workers, demanding better safety, pay, and equity, are protesting against the company's new productivity framework.
Shoppers are facing empty shelves ahead of the year's busiest shopping period due to a nationwide strike by Woolworths warehouse workers . The strike, now in its near two-week period, involves 1,500 workers at four distribution centers in Victoria and New South Wales, demanding better workplace safety, pay, and equity. Workers are opposed to Woolworths ' new 'Coaching and Productivity Framework ,' which they argue imposes unrealistic productivity targets and endangers their safety.
The United Workers Union is calling for the removal of this framework and a significant wage increase
