16.01.2022 BREAKING: The SDA has been campaigning for members to receive an immediate pay rise. A 1 July pay rise has now been agreed for Woolworths Supermarkets and Big W members.

Woolworths has now done the right thing by its team in bringing forward these pay increases to 1 July. This now means the SDA can withdraw its Federal Court proceedings. Thousands of SDA members supported our pay rise campaign. Thank you to SDA members, delegates for your strong support. It pays to be a member of the SDA. The SDA now calls on other large retailers to follow Woolworths lead on this issue and give their essential retail workers a pay rise immediately.

08.01.2022 "Demand is the key to economic recovery - if consumers dont spend, even more businesses will fail and even more workers will be without jobs.
