Hundreds of striking Woolworths workers in Melbourne have delayed the reopening of a warehouse, causing supermarket shortages. The protest, led by United Workers Union members, targets unrealistic performance expectations and poor working conditions.
Hundreds of picketing workers fighting Woolworths for better pay and conditions have delayed a warehouse reopening, leaving supermarket shelves bare. United Workers Union members are picketing the retail giant’s distribution centre in suburban Melbourne on Monday after it announced plans to reopen.
Woolworths workers strike for rights. The Dandenong South site is one of several across eastern Australia subject to industrial action since November 21. Woolworths announced plans to reopen the Melbourne site on Sunday. This ongoing action has involved turning away a logistics truck and cars being used to block all entrances to the distribution centre.
