flag Tasmanian Fonterra workers began strikes for pay equity, more leave, and better call-back terms amid stalled talks.

flag Dozens of maintenance workers at Fonterra’s Tasmanian dairy plants began protected industrial action in September, staging rolling stoppages and call-out bans to demand pay parity with mainland workers, 10 days of personal leave, and better call-back terms. flag The AMWU and CEPU say Fonterra’s NZ$1.7 million operating profit justifies their demands, especially amid ongoing talks to sell the business to Lactalis. flag Fonterra says it has offered a deal since July 2025 with above-inflation pay, extra leave, and allowances, calling it fair and competitive, and insists operations continue without disruption. flag Negotiations remain stalled, and a union rally is planned.
