Every year thousands of child workers in their first days of work are targeted by the predatory tactics of SDA. Now those teens and their families are fighting back. #FightBackWithRAFFWU https://t.co/FPzmzmLXHO

Josh spoke to the ABC about the exploitation of vulnerable workers - including migrant workers, casual workers and young workers. Important litigation by the FWO has seen record fines imposed by the Federal Court on Sushi Bay. #FightBackWithRAFFWU https://t.co/bjxCkoFpyP

Nearly 10,000 workers voted after nine days of bargaining with the employer that is ruling out a living wage and has no desire to address understaffing issues, the union says.

SDA and Labor protect price gougers because the supermarkets recruit children to the SDA club. “Yes we engage with companies, and yes we have an opportunity to sign people up into the union. We don’t make an apology for that." #FightBackWithRAFFWU https://t.co/caNHk52fFk

The Retail and Fast Food Workers Union, which styles itself as a “grassroots” alternative to the “Catholic, right-wing” Shoppies union, supports divestiture.

Unadulterated power mongering is costing workers, consumers and suppliers while big business banks a fortune at our expense. It’s time for change. https://t.co/7eT9qsh3Cl #LivingWageForAll #FightBackWithRAFFWU #EndPrecariousWork

Coles worker rejects 'slap in the face' offer from supermarket giant. Tony Williams has been working for Coles for 16 years and says the supermarket's latest move is “insulting”. Vote No! #VoteNoForABetterDeal #FightBackWithRAFFWU #LivingWageForAll https://t.co/ET1i2G3Tyi

Coles blocks access to Vote No materials on the RAFFWU website while the SDA website is given free reign. Treating workers like mushrooms is what big business and SDA do. Don't live in the dark being fed crap. Get informed and #VoteNoForABetterDeal https://t.co/Yjz3gXl93v

RAFFWU Member & @Coles worker Taylor sums it up. Meanwhile, SDA says its sellout deal was "endorsed by SDA members". Hundreds say they never endorsed it and weren't given a copy! #VoteNoForABetterDeal #FightBackWithRAFFWU #LivingWageForAll #SuperStrike https://t.co/2B4ss8GSsR

This would involve a store shutting down and an investigation being carried out, much like in a corporate workplace. Yet Cullinan claims supermarkets simply won't embrace this as it would "cost them a sale". https://t.co/oDDspl726y #FightBackWithRAFFWU

"Woolworths is being sued on behalf of up to 1,400 employees who had their "world turned upside down" at the "height of the pandemic" when they were allegedly dragged into meetings and forced to take huge pay cuts." #FightBackWithRAFFWU @woolworths https://t.co/HsiCjWEy68

A freaking drink bottle?! Coles makes billions and starves out workers campaigning for living wages, safer workplaces and secure jobs. If @Coles really cared it would pay us a living wage for Christmas. #superstrike #fightbackwithRAFFWU #livingwageforall https://t.co/RifxWG13rz
