Arnold's staff in Adelaide begin 24-hour walkout over wage dispute
Around 160 Arnott's employees in Adelaide have halted work for a day as they negotiate pay terms with the United Workers Union.
A one-day work stoppage involving roughly 160 workers at Arnott's in Adelaide was launched amid a dispute over wages. The United Workers Union says the conflict stems from four years of wage growth that lagged behind inflation. Arnott's has put forward a 9.5% increase spread over two years, but most staff have turned it down. Negotiations between the company and the union remain ongoing.
