Really? So, you like having food on your table and feeding your family, but other people who also have families and kids and are suffering for years without enough food or money should just stay quiet so you can keep eating comfortably? That’s beyond selfish. And anyone that likes your comment. I am so sick of people like you who only care about their own needs and act like it’s an inconvenience to consider others. As if your own comfort matters more than the struggles of others! You have the option to shop somewhere else, but instead, you choose to complain about people fighting for their basic rights. These people have every right to stand up for their lives and their families, just like you do. If you can’t understand that, maybe it’s time to take a hard look at what being a decent human being really means. Stop being so self-centered, and instead, try showing some empathy for others who are just trying to survive.
So who exactly will be paying tax when everything is automated and AI also does all the thinking. Funny the CEOs think thier skills (?) cant be replaced by AI. Pretty much anything that is done sitting in an office on a computer wont last long either. Wont need tradies or crane drivers or doctors or nurses. The machines will not stop at warehousing. Careful what you wish for people your job is next. No jobs no taxes ya just drones dropping of rice bags and food bars, along with your Government allocation of toilet paper. Dont worry you will be able to talk to the drone if your allocated universal rations are short. Just ask the bank tellors how quickly your job will become obsolete in the brave new world.
The same things were said about industrialisation. "It's been calculated that 60% of employment in 2018 was in types of jobs that didn’t even exist before 1940. One reason innovation has created so many new jobs is that it has increased the productivity of workers, augmenting their capabilities and expanding their potential to do new tasks and learn new skills." Death, taxes and change are 3 certainties in humanity.
@multioptioned However some things have been consistent: Human beings require; houses, food prep, transport, governance, access to health, crime management. The jobs your referring to have always been redesigned to meet the same human needs. How we do those things is all that has changed. Provision has still required human beings. Machines have developed but we still operated them. AI does not require human beings, they replace the one thing that we were required for " thinking and responding in the moment". It's not a just a change in the physical skills required to operate the new machine to get the tasks done and us adapting our " thinking" to a new skill requirement in new job roles. We are not required to think. Maybe take a look at the documentary "AlphaGo". God had to intervene and even that was a one trick pony 😆 🤣 😂

So these workers on strike are against the whole nation because consumer don’t have a choice but to bear the cost increases. woolworths may be the one to blame but no one can do anything but still to shop with them.
@@EnjoyEveryMoment88 Woolies and Cole’s set these targets to reach, they hire engineers to set these standards and the way they do it is they give out the cream of the crop orders to the workers for engineers to audit like for eg: pick 330 items at 110 lines. Something like this takes about an hour at the most and that’s going slow. They audit a bunch orders like this and analyse a pick median pick rate for the workers to achieve based off these orders when on any other day you don’t get orders like such and it forces you to work like an idiot to achieve unrealistic numbers. Most orders are like 130 items at 110 lines. Something like this takes about 40-45mins. So you’re far off from hitting the set target that is and was mislead. Hope that makes sense.
Seriously lets get this right. You enjoy the privilege of having food on your table and feeding your family, yet you think others-who have been suffering for years without enough food or money to survive-should stay silent just so you can keep living comfortably and eating more? That level of selfishness is staggering. I am absolutely disgusted by people like you who only care about their own stomachs, acting as though others’ struggles are nothing more than an inconvenience to your lifestyle. How dare you dismiss their fight for survival as if your comfort is more important than their right to live with dignity? You are ridiculous. If it’s such a problem for you, go shop somewhere else! Nobody owes you their silence or their suffering to make your life easier. These people are fighting for their lives, their families, and their basic human rights-something you clearly take for granted. Stop being so self-absorbed. The world doesn’t revolve around you, and it’s high time you learned some empathy. Your selfishness is part of the problem, not the solution.
Yes, their modern automated warehouses are coming or already in place. Workers are ok with that? 😮 Woolworths are the current target of industrial action. Coles just spent a billion on new Brisbane warehouse and Aldi closing 6 warehouses to be replaced by 3 modern automated warehouses in 2025.
@@multioptionedI’m not really sure why the workers have an opinion of a factory goes automated. If people are striking for an unreasonable amount of time with unreasonable demands and this is impacting the primary role of a business, I would 100% look at getting new process, including automation. Whilst people have the right to protest and demand better conditions, both the demands and timeframe needs to be reasonable. If it is not, the business has the right to fulfil the business needs and do what is required. Whether you like it or not.
@JustEnjoyLife88 Yes. My question was sarcastic. All warehouses will use automation, robotics and AI. Woolworths employees and unions have to accept the future, just like every other business using the same technology. Consultancy McKinsey Australia released a report this month that suggests machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced robotics will transform the economy over the coming decade. About 28 per cent of jobs in the retail sector - or about 430,000 positions - will be made obsolete from automation by 2030, tasks like packing and moving boxes around, the report found. But it's not all doom and gloom. The same report predicts 600,000 jobs will be created in retail.

Is that a lot is it? To do constant back breaking work
I get $30 an hour where I work!
I make do. Always have done.
@@kingcarnage_ that's not back breaking work lol. have you looked at the average person striking? more than half of them are fat and there is a lot of woman and it's all in-doors. oh man, PLEASE DON'T GET ME STARTED.
If you don’t like the job, find another job. It’s not the only job in this country. Or are you still there cos the pay isn’t that bad and the working conditions isn’t that serious and the union is telling you guys you deserve this and that. It’s there job. There gotta do something to show you where your money’s going.
They won't leave unless forced out. All modern warehousing and logistics operate this way. Is their salary unfair?
Currently, entry level workers at Erskine Park are paid just $29.60 per hour, compared with a starting rate of $33.43 at MSRDC. However, the top rate of pay at MSRDC is just $34.56, compared with $43.30 at Melbourne Liquor and just over $38 at Wodonga and Erskine Park.The company has offered workers nominal pay rises of 10 percent over three years at MSRDC, 12.1 percent over four years at Melbourne Liquor, 7.1 percent over two years at Wodonga and 12.05 percent over three years at Erskine Park.
Adelaide regional distribution center pays $39.96 for morning shift.
sometimes finding the other job is the challenge. you got to go to work. gotta deal with transport. location. cant take time off to get an interview, and theres a hundred other applicants. cant afford the electricity bill, doing overtime and being taxed at the next bracket so you end up with less pay after working more hours, so you have to do even more hours to make up for the loss.
car breaks down, tyres almost gone, rego is due, more bills piling up, childs sick and home from school so then you gotta find someone to look after them, or send them to school anyway... rents just doubled as the owner sold and the new owners got dollar signs for eyes...
paid 43.30 to sit behind a counter at a liquor store?
yet the people that have to produce that liquor are lucky to see 1/10th of that... someones gotta plough those fields, harvest that grain, deal with rats, birds, insects, water restrictions, and mounting land taxes...
go check out teh local chicken farm, supplying your eggs and "rspca approved" chicken breasts... lucky to get 14 an hour. no wonder theyre all illegal migrants...
@Mildawg1 Will these workers employ any Australians? Shareholders get a share of company profits, not employees. Workers are getting above award wages for warehouse workers. What's a fair wage for an Apple or Microsoft employee? 💰🙄🤔
@Mildawg1 I don't make the financial rules. Investors do nothing?? Does your superannuation fund invest in Woolworths, Coles....?
Unions It was the TWU that ate All My superannuation Over My Working Life Through fees & Charges.. at the end there was nothing.
Coles is the best
Yes, their new billion dollar automated distribution centre in Brisbane uses UK technology robotics and AI and is said to be better than Woolworths new warehouses! 😂
Pay and conditions hey, i love how covid is the only thing they can compare it too.
No wonder there on strike,
The fat people at the top 😮 ,
It Time to pay up🤑🤑 to the lower pay worker , how are the most important people, in your work force😮😮
This strike needs to stop.its ridiculous
Really? So, you like having food on your table and feeding your family, but other people who also have families and kids and are suffering for years without enough food or money should just stay quiet so you can keep eating comfortably? That’s beyond selfish. And anyone that likes your comment.
I am so sick of people like you who only care about their own needs and act like it’s an inconvenience to consider others. As if your own comfort matters more than the struggles of others! You have the option to shop somewhere else, but instead, you choose to complain about people fighting for their basic rights.
These people have every right to stand up for their lives and their families, just like you do. If you can’t understand that, maybe it’s time to take a hard look at what being a decent human being really means. Stop being so self-centered, and instead, try showing some empathy for others who are just trying to survive.
@@Mrs-qj3bm I don't care
Agree mate.
So who exactly will be paying tax when everything is automated and AI also does all the thinking. Funny the CEOs think thier skills (?) cant be replaced by AI. Pretty much anything that is done sitting in an office on a computer wont last long either. Wont need tradies or crane drivers or doctors or nurses. The machines will not stop at warehousing. Careful what you wish for people your job is next. No jobs no taxes ya just drones dropping of rice bags and food bars, along with your Government allocation of toilet paper. Dont worry you will be able to talk to the drone if your allocated universal rations are short. Just ask the bank tellors how quickly your job will become obsolete in the brave new world.
The same things were said about industrialisation.
"It's been calculated that 60% of employment in 2018 was in types of jobs that didn’t even exist before 1940. One reason innovation has created so many new jobs is that it has increased the productivity of workers, augmenting their capabilities and expanding their potential to do new tasks and learn new skills."
Death, taxes and change are 3 certainties in humanity.
@multioptioned However some things have been consistent: Human beings require; houses, food prep, transport, governance, access to health, crime management. The jobs your referring to have always been redesigned to meet the same human needs. How we do those things is all that has changed. Provision has still required human beings. Machines have developed but we still operated them. AI does not require human beings, they replace the one thing that we were required for " thinking and responding in the moment". It's not a just a change in the physical skills required to operate the new machine to get the tasks done and us adapting our " thinking" to a new skill requirement in new job roles. We are not required to think. Maybe take a look at the documentary "AlphaGo". God had to intervene and even that was a one trick pony 😆 🤣 😂
Woolies - We want you to do a hard days yakka for a hard days pay - Union NO we want less work with a 25% raise -Sack the lot fully automate, its a distribution warehouse the tech is already there
its people like who shop at coles and woolies.
@@chengchiu957 Who ? um I think you mean You but ok yup I spend money wisely, as other outlets are either way to expensive or not available in my area, Cosco, Aldi blah blah. I'm all for supporting reasonable workers rights and conditions work hard get paid well. Not this bunch of scabs.. ahh poor dears have a work quota poor dears.
used to be at mitre10. union boys "hey, join teh union!"
me..."why? noones threatening to fire me, i got given a forklift ticket, i get to sit around scratching my arse for most of the day..."
union boys "we're the lowest paid guys here!"
me... "maybe its because you have two hour liquid lunches down at the pub, take every second monday off as a "sickie", turn up late every other day, and get half a friday off?"
pay check i was getting was adequate. i wasnt paying off a HSV or getting full sleeve tattoos. funny that.
why did i leave? because every time the timber truck came in, there wasnt a union boy in sight. anytime a customer walked in they managed to find some "task" to keep them "busy" down the back of the timber racks.
and the manager was busy stuffing white powder up his nose all day..
@@chengchiu957tell me a place that offers online delivery with wide range of products and reasonably good customer service. Let’s face it Australia had none except Woolies and coles. Aldi worker works even harder, IGA too expensive, local grocer’s services are so limited and the quality is not consistent. We have no options but to shop with these two. So these workers on strike are against the whole nation because consumer don’t have a choice but to bear the cost increases. woolworths may be the one to blame but no one can do anything but still to shop with them.
Oh no they have deadlines like every other job. Lol
That’s not the issue. The issue is it’s unrealistic to meet these targets without working unsafe
@@kingcarnage_care to explain?
@@EnjoyEveryMoment88 Woolies and Cole’s set these targets to reach, they hire engineers to set these standards and the way they do it is they give out the cream of the crop orders to the workers for engineers to audit like for eg: pick 330 items at 110 lines. Something like this takes about an hour at the most and that’s going slow. They audit a bunch orders like this and analyse a pick median pick rate for the workers to achieve based off these orders when on any other day you don’t get orders like such and it forces you to work like an idiot to achieve unrealistic numbers. Most orders are like 130 items at 110 lines. Something like this takes about 40-45mins. So you’re far off from hitting the set target that is and was mislead. Hope that makes sense.
Just hire new people simple.. but at same time all should have fair conditions
Tracking workers in most places kick out the slackers
Just force them back to work, 25 percent is ridiculous
Bootlicker
Seriously lets get this right. You enjoy the privilege of having food on your table and feeding your family, yet you think others-who have been suffering for years without enough food or money to survive-should stay silent just so you can keep living comfortably and eating more? That level of selfishness is staggering.
I am absolutely disgusted by people like you who only care about their own stomachs, acting as though others’ struggles are nothing more than an inconvenience to your lifestyle. How dare you dismiss their fight for survival as if your comfort is more important than their right to live with dignity? You are ridiculous.
If it’s such a problem for you, go shop somewhere else! Nobody owes you their silence or their suffering to make your life easier. These people are fighting for their lives, their families, and their basic human rights-something you clearly take for granted.
Stop being so self-absorbed. The world doesn’t revolve around you, and it’s high time you learned some empathy. Your selfishness is part of the problem, not the solution.
@@Mrs-qj3bm have a cry
Bloody useless unions again!
At my last job the AMWU were shite!
Still closed down In the end
Warehousing jobs are vanishing anyway. Pay rises won't help them when they are made redundant...😮
They’ll make up for the loss of money through to their customers so don’t by Woolworths they need you to pay for this
Hey everybody doesn’t anybody know about Coles or Aldi ??
Yes, their modern automated warehouses are coming or already in place. Workers are ok with that? 😮 Woolworths are the current target of industrial action.
Coles just spent a billion on new Brisbane warehouse and Aldi closing 6 warehouses to be replaced by 3 modern automated warehouses in 2025.
@@multioptionedI’m not really sure why the workers have an opinion of a factory goes automated. If people are striking for an unreasonable amount of time with unreasonable demands and this is impacting the primary role of a business, I would 100% look at getting new process, including automation.
Whilst people have the right to protest and demand better conditions, both the demands and timeframe needs to be reasonable. If it is not, the business has the right to fulfil the business needs and do what is required.
Whether you like it or not.
@JustEnjoyLife88 Yes. My question was sarcastic. All warehouses will use automation, robotics and AI. Woolworths employees and unions have to accept the future, just like every other business using the same technology.
Consultancy McKinsey Australia released a report this month that suggests machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced robotics will transform the economy over the coming decade. About 28 per cent of jobs in the retail sector - or about 430,000 positions - will be made obsolete from automation by 2030, tasks like packing and moving boxes around, the report found.
But it's not all doom and gloom. The same report predicts 600,000 jobs will be created in retail.
The woolies CEO gets $8million a year... disgusting...
😢
@@gamingwithamin9957become a CEO and you to can be earn that amount of money. Funnily enough, the CEO of Woolworths isn’t even in the top 20 of highest paid CEO’s in Australia lol.
not only about pay its about being tracked and traced for work performance - people need to be concerned as if they track workers whats going to stop them tracking customers in the future ruclips.net/video/8LVT-SRuuJM/видео.html
I can definitely understand the why they’d be mad at the tracking, but as for the pay, these are warehouse workers.
You’re telling me people aren’t being traced to ensure goals are being met? And mate, what do you think marketing experts do… they travel and track customers to see their spending habits and preferences. What about google? Their algorithms are hectic. Or all those terms and conditions people don’t read when going to a bank, car yard, rewards card, etc.
@@EnjoyEveryMoment88 Surely you have to see the difference between tracked for efficiency purposes vs data collection.
