Supermarket giants Coles and Woolworths are facing pressure from the Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility (ACCR) to sever their business ties to suppliers that do not comply with fair work laws.
The ACCR’s Director of Workers Rights Katie Hepworth points to the two companies consistent failure to pay their supply workers the correct amount under the law.
Woolworths has stated it has since introduced ‘targeted requirements that would only include certified labour providers in its’ supply chain.
