Woolworths estimates that the strike action by distribution centre workers has cost it about $50m in lost food sales to date. Meanwhile, Workplace Relations Minister Murray Watt and staff from his department have held talks with Woolworths executives and United Workers Union officials in a bid to resolve the impasse that has led to empty shelves at Woolworths stores in Victoria and southern NSW. The 12-day strike has also affected supplies at liquor stores Dan Murphy’s and BWS, which are owned by Woolworths spin-off Endeavour Group.
