WOOLWORTHS - THE LOW PAY PEOPLE
Woolworths Australia own outlets such as Safeway and Big W. In New Zealand they own a company called Progressive Enterprises. Over 500 Progressive employees in Auckland, Palmerston North and Christchurch Distribution Centres have been locked out of their workplaces by Woolworths until they agree to abandon their claim for a national collective agreement.

The lockout follows the indefinite suspension of workers after they commenced a 48hour strike over two weeks ago. The workers are claiming a measly 8% wage increase and allowance parity between the four distribution centres.

Woolworths have decided to take on these workers in an attempt to keep their pay at poverty levels. Say no poverty wages in retail and distribution. Say no to greedy employers attacking our right to collectively bargain.

Support the locked out workers by not shopping at any Woolworths outlets.
Woolworths Australia own brands including Safeway, Food For Less, Dick Smith Electronics and PowerHouse, Tandy, Woolworths Liquor, BWS, First Estate, Dan Murphy’s, Plus Petrol, BIG W, Woolworths Ezy Banking, Woolworths HomeShop and GreenGrocer.

Also send a message to the Progressive Enterprises Managing Director, Marty Hamnett. Tell him you will not be shopping at places owned by Woolworths. marty.hamnett@progressive.co.nz
