Pernod Ricard Winery workers have voted this morning to continue their strike action, starting 24-hour rolling stoppages from today after one day of strike action last week. For more further information, please see previous media release.
Comments attributable to UWU Organiser Ben Reichstein:
“With minimal improvement from the company, workers have made the tough decision to proceed with rolling 24-hour stoppages.
“This is a big ask for workers who are forgoing pay as they fight for better wages and conditions to support their families and community.
“We know that good, secure jobs are the lifeblood of our regional communities.
“Workers are committed to continuing the fight until a fair, reasonable, and secure offer is presented to union members, many of whom have shown loyalty and dedication to this multi-million dollar company for over 10, 20, and even 30 years.
“In a cost-of-living crisis, it’s time for workers to be paid a fair share.”
