What's happening at Sunrice?

A brief explainer for workers & the community.

The short version:
SunRice Group are refusing to provide a fair wage increase to essential workers –
and want to remove their conditions instead.

 Workers at the SunRice Group have had conditions eroded from their agreement for over a decade – and now the company are seeking to rip the remaining conditions from these workers. 

These changes will affect workers & their ability to contribute to their community.

In negotiations, the company has sought to remove community service leave, blood donation leave and more. The company is driven by corporate greed, not care for the community or local workers. 

We've been fighting since June 2021...

SunRice have left workers with
no other choice BUT TO STRIKE.
