Media Statement in response to FWC Woolworths ruling

“The ARA welcomes this ruling, which ensures Woolworths can reopen its Melbourne South Regional Distribution Centre (MSRDC), ensuring the community has unhindered access to groceries.

“We commend the Fair Work Commission’s decision to allow both parties to move forward in good faith.

“We support Woolworths as it continues to work towards a positive outcome for its employees.”
