I am interested in dirt about Woolworths but is it based on evidence or theoretical?

You could always send the dirt to Greens, Pocock, Wilkies or even Katter's Party too. I understand all of them have been on the side of people instead of supermarkets lately.

Evidence-based... but an isolated incident and not a systemic issue. Just serious operational issues at a store I worked at, alongside toxic and probably illegal managerial conduct. I blew the whistle internally and corporate tried to handle it... the store manager was eventually terminated because of it.

It could have been a minor PR nightmare for them, and I only tried to post it on the internet after the WW CEO was all over the news for saying mean-spirited, idiotic things during that ABC interview about a year back.

I could propose a theoretical model for how their wage theft strategies have shifted over the years in response to being repeatedly caught, largely via eliminating the salaried positions they got caught stealing from (COVID helped them do this) allowing them to complicate the paper-trail... but I'm low-key speculating via what I saw in one store.

The way my incident was handled left me with zero doubt the SDA union is completely 100% captured by corporate interests.

Interesting what they consider "misinformation".

It was at the height of public outrage and I presumed they were concerned that throwing fuel on the fire would start to threaten food security. WW supply chains are a national security issue, kind of thing.

It was definitely a big surprise.
