ALERT #4, 21-8-26: Bargaining round complete

Alert: Bargaining round complete

Kia ora koutou

As promised, here is our update following this week's negotiations with Woolworths for your next Collective Agreement. 

After 6 days at the bargaining table over two sessions, we have an offer of a two-year deal with a pay increase offer of 3.2% on the first year and 2.75% in the second year. We will be working hard to improve that offer. 

We have got through a considerable amount of work but there are some sticking points, particularly regarding night-fill and the entitlements they currently receive. These are extremely important to our night-fill members, and we are working hard to resolve the issue with Woolworths.

We have 2 more days of bargaining set down for the 2nd and 3rd of September - we'll keep you in the loop.

In solidarity,

Rudd Hughes and the Workers First Union bargaining team
