New Zealand Woolworths workers struck over pay, work changes, and unresponsive negotiations.
Workers at the Woolworths Contact Centre in New Zealand began a strike on December 15, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., protesting low pay, proposed changes to remote work, and unilateral schedule changes including unpaid weekend shifts.
Represented by the Workers First Union, employees say negotiations with Woolworths’ Australian-based team have stalled due to what they describe as unprepared and dismissive behavior, including ignorance of New Zealand labor laws.
The dispute centers on customer service roles, with potential future actions, including protests over speech restrictions, under consideration.
The company has not publicly responded.
