The Chemist Warehouse Strike was a strike by warehouse workers in Australia in 2019 over sexual harassment by managers, low pay and job insecurity.

Results

The strike, called off after 16 days, won:

  • Casual workers are automatically converted to permanent workers after six months
  • All participants in the strike are to be given permanent job placements
  • Pay increase from $21/h to $30/h
  • Mandatory training for managers to stamp out sexual harassment - the first time management have been forced to recognise the problem.[1]
