Wilmar Sugar Dispute

Wednesday, 3 July 2024 - 8:30am to 9:00am

On this week’s episode of Stick Together, focus on the Wilmar Sugar dispute in Queensland, which we’ve been providing you with updates over the past year or so. Just a reminder, workers from eight plants of sugar giant Wilmar International have rejected its new wage offer as of 11th June.

Some 84.7% of 1,200 workers voted against the pay proposal from the Singapore-owned company. Unions have temporarily suspended industrial action at mills run by Australia's largest sugar producer as negotiations over worker pay resume. My guest later in the program today is Jim Wilson from the Australian Workers Union.

Plus some union news.
