ACTION: SUPPORT STRIKING JB Hi-Fi WORKERS!

JB Hi-Fi workers solidarity action organised by UNITE: 12pm Saturday 8th May at JB Hi-Fi (206 Bourke st, City – near Russell st) Melbourne, VIC

JB Hi-Fi staff at the company's Wellington (NZ) store are taking strike action as part of a Unite Union campaign to win higher wages for retail workers. These strikes are the first ever industrial action in over 27 years of the company's history!

The Unite Union (NZ) has been negotiating with JB Hi-Fi management for over six months for a collective agreement but the Australian bosses are refusing to raise wages for staff this year. Most JB Hi-Fi workers are paid just above the minimum wage yet the Australian electronic retail giant JB Hi-Fi's net profit after tax is expected to be A$117 million to A$120 million this year.
