StreetFight! The Battle at Streets Icecream

Wednesday, 4 October 2017 - 8:30am to 9:00am

In addition to your weekly wrap of union news, this week we explore the industrial dispute at ice cream giant, Streets.  Owned by multinational Unilever, the company is seeking to terminate the agreement covering its approximately 150 workers, which would see them forced back on to the minimum standards in the Award. This would be represent an approximately 46% pay cut. To make matters worse, the company has also enforced a social media gag on it's workers. We pass on some of the workers' anonymous messages about just how badly this employer hostility is affecting them.
