Woolworths ‘strikes deal’ with union to end warehouse strike
Woolworths and the United Workers Union have struck a deal, possibly ending a long-running warehouse worker strike that has stripped the supermarket giant’s shelves bare.
Woolworths announced the deal in a statement on Saturday afternoon, declaring its major Dandenong South distribution centre could be open again within hours, once workers vote on the agreement.

“We are pleased to have endorsed offers for new terms and conditions and a competitive wage for our team at our four distribution centres that have been subject to indefinite industrial action over recent weeks,” chief executive Amanda Bardwell said.
The United Workers Union has been contacted for comment.
