This chart shows real wages are way behind because: sub-poverty increases in the pandemic and inflation. 3.5% doesn't fix the gap. #ACTU, #ALP, #SDA officers any who earn far higher than minimum wage tell us the increase is 'great' - really ? #FightBackWithRAFFWU
We disagree with the editorial of the Australia Institute that the increase is “appropriate.” It is not. It keeps millions of workers in poverty.

#Coles and #Woolworths exercise gross and disproportionate power against consumers, farmers and workers. #RAFFWU members have stood together and, for the first time ever at the supermarkets, taken strike action in pursuing living wages, safer workplaces and secure jobs.
In this critical #FourCorners analysis, hear from RAFFWU #union member Ana what it is like working in a dark store.

#RAFFWU members at #Woolworths #BrokenHill walked out on #strike Most of the store walked out leaving online ordering shut down, and the store largely operated by #scabs flown in by Woolworths from #Adelaide and #sydney

#Union Members are outraged that Woolworths would rather spend a fortune on the flights and accommodation for strike-breakers than return the conditions stripped from Broken Hill workers.

#Woolworths #fightbackwithRAFFWU

On Friday workers will commence their first ever national industrial action against #Woolworths.
Paid poverty wages, with unsafe conditions and insecure jobs, hundreds of workers are fighting back. If you work at Woolworths (including Metros and CFCs) you can apply to join #RAFFWU, appoint #union as your bargaining rep and participate in the action too.
