Rudd Hughes: Workers First deputy secretary on Woolworths moving 130 jobs to Australia

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

About 130 jobs could be on the chopping block at Woolworths. Workers First Union says Woolworths is proposing to cut about 130 customer care roles in New Zealand - with affected staff called to a meeting. Woolworths says it's exploring integrating customer care operations with Sydney's established support capability. Union deputy secretary Rudd Hughes says this move won't help their customer service, as people will benefit from having workers who have insights into New Zealand operations.
