To: Woolworths CEO, Amanda Bardwell

Woolworths: put workers' safety first and meet with warehouse workers!

This campaign has ended.

Warehouse workers' safety must come first!

Union members at Woolies warehouses are on indefinite strike for safer warehouses.

We are calling on Amanda Bardwell, CEO of Woolworths, to meet with warehouse workers and commit to ending the dehumanising "Framework", an unsafe measuring system.  

Why is this important?

Workers at Woolies warehouses have been forced to take strike action.

The multi-billion-dollar company is squeezing every last drop out of shoppers and warehouse workers alike.

Woolworths' measurement system, "The Framework" sets a universal standard for human movement. It is discriminatory, dangerous and unrealistic to expect people to meet the same universal standard every second of every day.  

"We're human beings, not robots."

Woolworths' punitive measurement system does not respect workers as human beings.

Warehouse workers say that in order to meet the Framework, people must sacrifice their own safety and mental well-being. Workers feel they must cut corners and perform tasks at dangerous speeds to avoid being disciplined or losing their jobs.

CEO Amanda Bardwell needs to listen to the union members speaking up - she needs to meet with them and hear their stories. Woolworths needs end the Framework and come to the table with a fair offer.

Sign our petition calling on the Woolworths CEO to meet with workers and end "the Framework".
