Rudd Hughes: Workers First Union spokesperson addresses claims New World workers banned from water at checkouts
Manage episode 509035069 series 2098282
A New World worker's taken to social media to complain about an incoming water bottle ban.
A Reddit user made a post stating their store's banning staff from having their bottles at checkout, with management telling them they can drink during breaks.
Rudd Hughes from the Workers First Union says this isn't the first time they've seen this, and might stem from customer service concerns.
"But actually, if you've got hydrated people who are comfortable and happy, they're going to give much better customer service than people who are dying for a drink."
A Foodstuffs spokesperson says policies vary between stores, but they expect store teams to be reasonable.
