Melbourne workers have secured a new pay deal ensuring better pay and conditions after a six-week strike at a McCormick food factory.
McCormick makes dipping sauces for fast food chains including McDonalds, KFC, Hungry Jacks, and Nandos. The new agreement ensures a three percent pay rise each year for workers, and preserves previous conditions the company wanted to remove, including the 4 day week roster.
The Victorian secretary of the United Workers Union, Susie Allison, says the victory shows that when workers stand united to fight for respect, they can win.
