Hello Bluesky! 👋

Since then, we’ve led historic strikes, secured industry-wide pay rises, and more.

$50 MILLION - the amount of money Woolworths is willing to pay to ignore striking workers' call for a fair workplace.
It seems they saved up a lot by squeezing their shoppers and workers over the last few years!

A very long-fought campaign win for @unitedworkers.org.au Early Educators! 15% on such a low wage is more of a parity than a raise, but this is still a win (and some much-needed breathing room). Tonight we celebrate, tomorrow the battle begins anew!

Cool thing you can do to support the current Woolies warehouse strike:
Post photos of empty shelves, preferably also asking WW to pay their stood down workers, and give them fair working conditions.
Use the hashtag #WooliesOnStrike or #WooliesStrike

"One day longer, one day stronger!" Over the weekend, workers held the line at Woolworths warehouses in both VIC & NSW.
We're passing the hat around for the workers out on strike! We’ve raised $7,000 so far.
