Our people
FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION AND UNION ENGAGEMENT
We aim to foster active partnerships with unions and have been able to build cooperative, constructive working relationships with them. Representatives from Corporate HR, divisional HR teams and all trading businesses regularly meet with the unions that represent our employees. We fully respect the role these unions play in maintaining a positive, productive workplace.
Collective bargaining agreements cover 86% of our workforce, or 130,070 (1) employees. Our enterprise agreements include a major change clause. Although the timeframe is not defined, we are transparent in our communications and conscious of the importance of communicating and engaging our employees and their representatives in a timely manner.
