Supermarkets end essential worker bonus pay

From Midday Report, 12:13 pm on 24 April 2020

Supermarket workers say they are crushed by the decision by the country's two biggest supermarket chains to stop paying their workers an extra 10 percent on their wage.

Countdown and Foodstuffs have been paying the bonus since the country moved into Covid-19 Alert Level Four.

But First Union says it won't be handed out beyond the coming week.
