As they damn well should

How fair work could call picket lines bad faith, but not all the stupid shit woolies has pulled is beyond me. I'm on the verge of going down to the damn site myself and making my own fucking picket line

Totally go there Baku, take some photos and share them here.

I think the headline might have changed since you posted. What should they damn well do?

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Continue picketing.

I'd join you if it weren't for the six hour drive. Keep it going.

I’m in another country or I’d join you, mate

I used the page title as it appears on the page but it's little better than the metatag title.

Just so you know, they've changed the entire article, and now the headline is "Strike over as Woolworths workers accept new offer from supermarket giant"

Not sure why they just redid and renamed the entire article as opposed to just making a new one

Thanks. I updated the title of the post as it makes sense to in this case.

!?!?! Aussie.zone says this was posted "12 hours ago", how did I miss this major development all day?

Oh. -_-

Would it be possible to edit this article to point to the archive.org link, then create a new post for the new news? Not sure if you want to at this point, you're probably sick of this roundabout. Thankyou for sharing it all.

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago

What do you want me to do exactly?

"The actions of these picketers are continuing to have an impact on Victorians being able to access essential grocery items such as nappies, drinks and toilet paper from our supermarkets across the state."

Omg, I can smell the bullshit from here. Like Victorians have no other locations for "essentials" lol.

I think they've just underscored the mentality of the duopoly if they think the state needs them to survive.
