Half expecting Woolworths to get around this strike by introducing self-shelf-stacking. The one thing in the workers’ favour is it’s a bit difficult to say. #woolworths #WooliesStrike

“We’re for higher wages for workers, and for better working conditions, and we’re against the sort of arbitrary discipline that management tries to bring up and turn people into robots here at Woolworths.... #Wooliesstrike

We understand this is frustrating. We are working hard to resolve this and will restock as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience."

A sparse supermarket shelf labelled with baby wipes.
Sparse supermarket shelves in the fruit section.
Woolworths Hastings:
Some fruits gone completely, big gaps in drinks and baby wipes, and eggs & frozen veggies pretty much empty.
They're now finally admitting it's a result of the @unitedworkers.org.au industrial action. #wooliesstrike #wooliesonstrike

Closeup of an empty shelf labelled "Pureau Ultra Pure Water 12x600ml". A temporary label is affixed that says "We're sorry, this item is temporarily unavailable"
Woolworths Vermont running out of promotional snacks and basically ALL of its smaller water bottles. Some of the toilet paper is running low as well, and the paper towels are almost completely out.
This is what happens when you don't pay workers a fair wage.
#WooliesStrike #WooliesOnStrike
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
