VIDEO/ AUDIO: footage of workers at Farmers St Lukes

FIRST Union organiser Kate Davis says the turnout at today’s pickets was overwhelming and quite unexpected.

“Look it just shows how frustrated these workers are, they’re sick of having crap pay and feeling so undervalued.”

Ms Davis says Farmers workers don’t often strike, and it’s hoped the fact hundreds did across the country will speak volumes to head office.
“There’s still more that staff are keen to do if this has no effect. Farmers touts itself as a family brand and it’s steeped in so much Kiwi history, to devalue workers and create financial struggles for families just goes straight against this, it’s just nonsense.”
