McPherson’s agree to pay $150,000 in worker underpayments

The company have today agreed to the union’s claim of underpayments for phone line rental that merchandisers have not been receiving as part of their Award entitlements.  The union through one of the NUW delegates, Sharon Morris welcomed the company’s position as a positive step forward in ensuring all merchandisers were given what they were entitled to as part of their working conditions.

“We welcome this decision to recognise our legitimate right to pursue this claim on behalf of all merchandisers. By joining the union and supporting each other we can make a difference and this demonstrates our collective strength.  There are some important issues we are now working through with our union the NUW, and jointly with the company to achieve improvements to our working conditions that will enable us to meet customer demands and deliver improved outcomes right across the company.”
