That's not true Coles and Woolies have National EBAs. Relevant staff would of been renumerated well, according to what has been negotiated with unions and the companies in accordance to the EBA agreement. Coles SA staff were forced to take annual leave, time in lieu or unpaid leave if they were ros...

Do you mean supermarket staff were paid ordinary time for Sunday, and Public Holiday overtime for Monday? Did that apply for all workers on Sunday and Monday or just supermarkets? Supermarket staff were not paid if they were rostered to work on the Sunday. Those SA employees simply lost that income...

Apparently I don't listen well. It is Sunday that SA stores are shut and staff need to take annual leave or unpaid leave etc. NSW, Vic, Queensland and ACT have Easter Sunday as a public holiday and pay employees as such. The main issue was the talk that opening Easter Monday now makes SA fall inlin...

Here's something to think about. I have been told Coles will not be opening many of their stores on Easter Monday. The workers must take that day off as annual leave or time in lieu.

Bad thing for new entrants into the market. Good thing for retirees or young families wanting to move interstate for retirement or professional reasons.

Success or failure?

According to the ABC article above it was a success and quite busy at the suburban shopping centres.

^^The consumer benefits as well as retail workers wanting to work on that day.

So much for liberal's promise of de-regulated shopping hours within 100 days of the election. Anyone know what the latest is ? Didn't pass the upper house so they are just allowing most stores to trade on Public Holidays in the Adelaide basin from 9-5pm. As this doesn't require a law change just ap...
