Woolworths warehouse strike leads to supply shortages and staff abuse, union reports

Woolworths supermarket staff are facing increased customer abuse due to supply shortages caused by a week-long strike by over 1,500 warehouse workers. The union reports that workers are being mistreated as they try to serve customers amid the disruptions. The United Workers Union is demanding better pay and safety conditions for the striking workers. Woolworths was warned about potential shortages, which are affecting product availability, especially in some stores in Victoria and New South Wales. A Woolworths spokesperson acknowledged that some stores are experiencing limited stock but stated that deliveries continue from other distribution centers. No product limits are currently in place, except for eggs, which were restricted before the strike began.
