Workers in South Australia are fighting for their fair share against extreme unlimited corporate greed. Our members struggle to pay their bills while generating the billions in wealth for PepsiCo. The system is broken for the working class.

[United Workers Union @UnitedWorkersOz]

Global CEO @ramonlaguarta , what’s going on? Get your act together in South Australia. PepsiCo is sending a message: you value profits & chips more than the workers who make them. Instead of meeting and fixing it, we’ve heard @PepsiCo may be targeting union members who are..(1/2)

@lhilakari @JoshBBornstein This was a 21st century strike about a 19th century business model that breaks workers backs, knees and shoulders.

[April Cumming @Aprilcumming2]

Times like this remind you that real power comes from community, collective action & unity between workers ❤️✊🏼

We hold the line.

We are starting to see the amount of money Woolworths is willing to pay to ignore striking workers' call for a fair workplace - $50 MILLION and counting

Seems they saved up a lot squeezing their shoppers & workers over the last few years! #WooliesStrike

Woolworths behaving as lying bullies over and over again. This strike is about safety and respect. Too many injured workers broken by an unsafe and dangerous productivity standard. Enough is enough. Abolish the standard, eliminate the risk and fix the dispute.

[United Workers Union @UnitedWorkersOz]

HUGE NEWS: Union members across all Woolies shifts who walked out today, have voted YES to indefinite strike action!
And Heathwood DC in Queensland has just voted 97% in favour of their right to take action!

Organising mass solidarity action is how workers win big. Well done to Woolworth workers who have spent a decade planning this moment. You have got this!!!!!!!!!!! Union Power.

[Senator Tony Sheldon @TonySheldonNSW]

Grill'd's 'trainee' program is a scam that enables it to pay workers as little as $14.90 per hour.

Incredibly, the Morrison Government actually funded this rort through $30 million in taxpayer subsidies. So not only does Grill'd pay below the min wage, it did so with YOUR money until Labor shut the subsidy down.

Just another way the Liberals, Nationals and big business work together to rip off Aussie workers.

[United Workers Union @UnitedWorkersOz]

Roger, Pascal & all the members of Joe's family from Tanna Island working for PLL in the Riverland send a special thank you to the UWU members and others who made donations. It will support Joe's family after his tragic death in the Riverland.

@angus_ibbott @coldplay And have fun. Sing your heart out

[unioncat 🍉 🍉 @BellaUnionCat]

@angus_ibbott @coldplay Fingers crossed.

[United Workers Union @UnitedWorkersOz]

Woolworths is treating workers like machines in the name of ‘efficiency.’ Timed to the second, pushed to breaking point, and profits over safety. Woolworths workers told UWU that safety could be at risk if they’re forced to work faster. Enough is enough!

IUF A/P Regional President, Bro. Tim Kennedy with @UnitedWorkersOz members @ burger chain Grill’d. It’s the first ever fast food workers strike in Australia. Workers walked off the job to protest dodgy traineeships to pay low wages to young workers. #GrilldBurgers

Grill'd store faces strike action over low-pay and 'unfair working conditions' claims https://t.co/UusOUYSbfq

[April Cumming @Aprilcumming2]

Workers at @GrilldBurgers work their buns off for the bare minimum wage. It’s a cost of living crisis.
Stop exploiting workers. #GrilldOnStrike #GrilldBurgers

[unioncat 🍉 🍉 @BellaUnionCat]

Took a sneaky break from surgery rehab to be at this first ever fast food strike! Proud to be union.

[United Workers Union @UnitedWorkersOz]

More than 100 supporters turned out today for Australia’s first ever fast food strike.

Brave workers at Grill’d in Flinders Lane Melb defied their very anti-union, anti-worker employer & walked out to protest #GrilldBurgers ongoing use of dodgy traineeship’s to suppress wages.
