Shoppers in Queensland, Western Australia and in the Northern Territory have been urged to not ‘bag’ Woolworths employees after the plastic bag ban comes into force today.
The Queensland Government’s single-use plastic bag ban does not start until July 1, however, Woolworths along with all its supermarkets, BWS, Metro and petrol outlets have implemented the new rule from today.
SDA National Secretary, Gerard Dwyer has said retail workers should not have to bear the brunt of any abusive behaviour just for following the new rules.
