Loving that Woolies staff wear body cams now, nice and dystopian. Who controls that footage? Where is it stored? How is it secured? How long is it kept? At what point do I consent to being filmed by staff, just upon entering the store?

Praise to the ABC is a rare thing, but warranted for their interview re: the EDM hilarity of "I Love Stealing From Woolies" from Elektronik Girl Epic aka EGE.
"When we asked EGE how she and the crew could have possibly gotten away with this, she laughed. "I think the majority of gen z workers don't get paid enough to care about a mild disruption in aisle 4."”#Australia #Woolies #Woolworths #EDM #tasmania #ElektronikGirlEpic

I was tired of paying #Woolies 95 cents per red, washed #potato & receiving #spuds the size of a squash ball.
So the last shop I purchased Woolworths Red Washed Potatoes Bag 2kg.
I opened the bag today. The bagged red, washed potatoes are smaller than a ping pong ball! WTF!
They are so small that my arthritic hands can’t peel them.
It’s not right. #RippedOff! #Woolworths

Everyday people are sick of being played at the checkout. For years, #Coles and #Woolworths have jacked up the price of everyday items, then days later slapped a "special" tag on them – at a price higher than they were before.
Now, the ACCC is taking Coles to court over exactly this. #Woolies is next. And new laws to curb excessive #grocery pricing are set to take effect from July.

@John A $25 watermelon from Woolies, while farmers are paid pennies. Meanwhile, the same corporate food system exports Aussie beef to Japan for half the price it's sold here in our own supermarkets.
This isn't about inflation — it's about exploitation. It's a rigged system where farmers are squeezed, Australian shoppers are gouged, and corporate shareholders laugh all the way to the bank.
It's time to break the monopolies, regulate profiteering, and rebuild a food system that serves people — not just profits.#AusPol #SupermarketPower #FoodJustice #CostOfLivingCrisis #Woolies

I was watching Glen & Friends Cooking on YouTube (https://youtu.be/gq0JCqgQZww?si=zH17iNWB0QEmvMRl) when he mentioned he had purchased 10lbs of #whiteonions for 2 #Canadian dollars at his supermarket for a recipe.
#Woolies sell white onions for 89 Australian cents - EACH!

We’re being massively ripped off.

#Woolies delivered 6 litres of #doublestrength vinegar yesterday morning.
I’ve been tempted to go spray the #thistles out back, but I feel safer when my better half is home, just in case my knees give out on me again.
My knees have been giving me grief since Thursday & my meds don’t seem to be helping with the pain.
I’ll go fill my sprayer though & get things ready for tomorrow.

#Dinner was had tonight!
From the #Woolies freezer #burritos!
I had #ButterChicken & my better half had half of a #MoroccanBeef. (She didn’t like the flavour - but she COULD taste it!👍)
I ate her leftover & I could taste both meals.🤗 #CovidIsNotOver

Another truckload of #lucerne arrived this morning. 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸
#Lambs & #alpacas are loving it.
This morning I fed them some #lucerne & #poppedlupins.
Just now I gave the #MudBrothers some more carrots (the huge, long ones #Woolies sell as #TheOddBunch. I slice lengthwise & each big carrot becomes 4.) & another bale of lucerne.
Chaser pictured, eating something like his 12th carrot of the day. So far. (He’s ignoring the newest bale of lucerne & hoping for more #carrots.)

The current #juniorwages system means big businesses like #Coles #Maccas and #Woolies are taking $3.5 billion off young workers every year 😤 And it doesn't end there! Young workers under 18 don't earn #superannuation (unless they work full time) and our young #apprentices are still not earning enough to get by!

Strike over as Woolworths workers accept new offer from supermarket giant
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-07/woolworths-industrial-action-victoria/104697608Strikes work.
Industrial action works.
Unions work for the workers.
Woolies is no friend of workers.
The Fair Work Commission is not fair.The United Workers Union got Woolies management to finally agree not to punish workers for their speed of work, and to give workers a boost in wages.
The "framework" that Woolies was trying to foist on its warehouse workers would have required warehouse staff to achieve a 100% performance and speed.
The union called it "dangerous, inhumane and unsafe". I consider it unrealistic for humans, dangerous for robots, and certain to cause injuries to anyone nearby in a short time. Think about it for a moment you'll see it was absolutely bonkers and whoever proposed it should be sacked for posing such a dire OH&S risk.
This debacle has shown that the Fair Work Commission is not fair and impartial.
Furthermore, Woolies has blown millions of dollars to show everyone they're no friend of workers.I urge you to continue your boycott of Woolies, and start campaigning to have the Governor General clear-out LNP stooges from the FWC.

They're paying a bunch of people $450K or more a year to decide whether folks earning $45K a year deserve a pay rise?
And they said no!

"Sin, young man is when you start treating people like robots and robots like people."
This is really, again what the #woolies story is all about. Just the same story as Amazon but at least this time it luckily did not went as smoothly, thanks to unions.

Woolworths wins Fair Work Commission bid against United Workers Union
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-06/woolworths-lawyer-accuses-union-of-metaphorical-gun/104692632This is grim news for Woolies workers.
And, it sets a bad precedent. Other large retailers with distribution centres around Australia will be looking at this news and thinking they can screw their workers the same way and not face a picket-line outside their warehouses.
It's also worth noting that the Fair Work Commission has been stacked by LNP cronies over the last few years when the LNP were in government and had power over appointments. I'm sure many people at the Fair Work Commission try to be impartial, but it shouldn't come as a surprise when they sometimes make decisions that favour big business. The LNP has a long history of undermining "independent umpires" -- workers at Woolies and the United Workers Union are not on a level playing field.
The good news is that the United Workers Union is likely lodge an appeal, so they're still in with a fight.
My personal boycott of Woolies remains in place -- my partner & I are instead shopping at other supermarkets and local grocers, and we're thinking of making the boycott permanent. I suggest you show solidarity with the workers and boycott Woolies.

'We're deeply sorry': Woolworths CEO lies to customers about bare shelves as she vows to screw-over workers
(fixed the headline for you)
https://www.9news.com.au/national/woolworths-strike-ceo-amanda-bardwell-doesnt-know-when-shelves-will-be-restocked/ef4bdd69-fe1d-42be-8729-cf82bc69be2bWoolworths CEO Amanda Bardwell could end the strike any time she wants. She could get the workers back to work and have supermarket shelves restocked quickly. Instead, she's choosing to prolong the industrial action, further emperil negotiations with workers, and inconvenience customers across Victoria, NSW, and the ACT.

Woolworths says ongoing strike has already cost it $50 million in lost food sales
https://www.9news.com.au/national/woolworths-strike-grocery-giant-lodges-application-to-stop-union-workers-blocking-access-to-distribution-centres/ca95e872-3808-4e6b-ad1a-f3f7fd135fb1Suck shit, Woolies — you should have negotiated in good faith with the unions and offered your workers reasonable pay and conditions.
Can you imagine how much better the outcome would have been for everyone if Woolies had put that $50 Million into workers' pay-packets instead of attempting to break the strike with scab labour?

@punningstunts.bsky.social reported Woolies are going to attempt to break the United Workers Woolies warehouse strike tomorrow by bringing in scab labour to at least one of the strike sites. The striking workers need your support to prevent that from happening.
2 Portlink Drive, Dandenong South. 5:30am is ideal.

Woolworths uses scab labour in distribution centre amid ongoing strike
(fixed the headline for you)
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/dec/01/woolworths-to-reopen-distribution-centre-to-get-essential-items-on-shelves-amid-ongoing-strikeBoycott Woolies!
Woolies has resorted to bringing in scab labour rather than talk to workers who are asking for better pay & conditions, and job security.

Woolies has turbofucked its online shopping.
In response to awful management practices, and their refusal to treat the needs of workers seriously, Woolies workers have begun industrial action. Their strike is starting to bite in ways that customers are starting to notice.
In store, there are gaps appearing on the shelves. Online, it's an absolute shambles. About half of our weekly shopping order is listed as out of stock.
As you'd recall from peak pandemic years, a small interruption to logistics can have a large flow-on effect. When goods produced by one brand become unavailable, shoppers look for alternatives. Some shoppers stock-up as a precaution against possible future unavailability. Before you know it, the shelves are bare, and the supply-chain problem spreads to other shops in the region.
Woolies has been making record profits because it's price-gouging customers, but at the same time it's been refusing to give staff a reasonable pay rise, and it's been pushing workers onto casual contracts with fewer hours. Job insecurity is a major factor that's led to the Woolies strike.
And, let's not let Coles off the hook. Coles has been doing the same as Woolies. The only difference is that Coles' workers aren't on strike for better pay and conditions. Yet.
Curiously, there's been little mention of this in the mainstream media. Here's something that the ABC published a week ago:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-21/woolworths-warehouse-workers-strike-action-supply-chain/104628380If you want to show solidarity with the workers at Woolies (or just want to spare yourself disappointment from seeing stuff out of stock), don't order online at Woolies, and don't go into a Woolies supermarket. Shop elsewhere. Shop at local, independent grocers.

Hey Siri, how do I file an antitrust lawsuit?

#News flash #Woolies - customers don’t want to be falsely #imprisoned in your self serve checkouts!
Isn’t it enough forcing ppl into self-serve while Woolies & #Coles have made #exploitative #profits?
Some #customers have taken the matter into their own hands today.
