Telstra, Deloitte and finance firm PwC are also reported to have initiated similar schemes, providing an opportunity for anyone who doesn't recognise January 26 to pick a separate day of their own choosing.
"We think it's up to each team member to mark the day as it suits them and our priority is creating a safe and supportive environment in our stores and sites."
No!
Yes, I support Austrailians having every day off.
It’s all bullshit, get out into the real Australia and everyone, yes everyone embraces Australia Day and what it stands for unity of its people and a strong country developing and moving forward. Not rabbiting on about history neither side actually understands.
Give employees the opportunity to take vacations on special holidays. This opportunity will allow thousands of employees to enjoy family and friends, the opportunity to commemorate National Day and spend quality time together.
No
If all employees agree I don’t mind taking the Friday off working the Thursday. At the end of the day the public holiday is great, but it’s more about celebrating and being proud and reminded how great this country is and how lucky we are to be Australians 🇦🇺
No. But I also believe Australia Day should be renamed to Arrival day and the day Australia was called Australia be another Public Holiday
Ch 9 hates Australia
Any companies that make Australia Day an option are a bloody disgrace woolworths Telstra .. The bigger disgrace is the weak two faced PM AlboMP ..How spineless of a leader we have .. To busy trying to get into the good books with Klaus..
No.
Anyone who won’t acknowledge Australia Day should be deported.
No
No! And I have shopped at woolies for the last time.
I mean as long as they space out their days off afterwards so that the stores aren’t understaffed, I don’t see the issue.
🙄 Should the Australian media be fined for deliberately trying to create civil unrest & conflict every year, in the lead up to Australia day? Oh and the fine would be a multiple of the advertising revenue directly/indirectly related to the articles?
Celebrate Australia Day in its present form as one nation of people, or fuck off to another country
Why do so many Australians hate Australia?
That depends on the employer and the employee
They've always been open on Australia Day, what exactly is changing?
I don't see why not
Public holidays in this country amount to little more than a pay rate regardless of what they acknowledge/celebrate. Fewer businesses close, fewer people have those precious ‘holidays’ away from work to spend with family, to rest & de-stress.
Looks like 32% only want the option to work on another day. 32% is the percentage of people who voted the Albanese government in.
My company is offering day off swap for Australia Day. It's more geared towards office workers, not warehouse and manufacturing.
take off Australia day
Big Business doesn’t support Australia Day. Wow
Woolworth don't want to pay holiday pay don't be sidelined
Absolutely not Malcolm Lum
Australia Day! If you don’t like it fk off & go live in another country
Some professions dont have public holidays. But why not. So long as its proportional to the PH wage rate.
If Woolworths aren’t proud to be Australian I’d rather shop elsewhere
Hey there! People in Brisbane I'm looking for a job and I have experience as a kitchen hand&bar. Waiter in functions or delivery, currently I'm working a few hours in a hotel as a housekeeping I work on in my English, level intermediate now who needs me.
Only if they don't lose their rights to public holiday rates for one day.
9NewsPerth Woolies is always open on Australia Day. Does that mean staff will actually get to choose whether they work it, or not? I’m betting it’ll be “either agree to work, or don’t count on any more shifts” just like always
No
9NewsMelb Woolworths obviously not proud Australians as they claim. 🧐
Because people had to work on NYE should we have a another fireworks show on New Year’s Day as well 🤦♂️
We should have two mandatory holidays - Federation Day, and Remembrance Day for the Defence Forces. We should get 6-8 negotiable holidays of significance, where people chose the days important to them.
Un-Australian. Boycott Woolworths!
So in Melbourne we have a day off for a horse race, one before a footy final but hey let's not worry about Australia day. Says it all !!
Did you get your Wokies Worth?
Everyone have the day and celebrate our country called Australia.
That’s always been the case in retail. How else have shops been able to serve us on Boxing day, Easter Monday and the Queen’s birthday? NotNews
It's a personal choice. Not a matter of public opinion.
Boycott woolies.
All about penalty rates
How does the pay rate work if you work a PH but take another day off of your choice woolworths ? Any OT rates paid for working the PH
9NewsMelb Those of us who work/worked in essential industries have/had no choice to work through public holidays. Stop whining.
9NewsMelb Absolutely.
What do the employees want to do?
No ..worker’s should take day off on public holidays as everyone does, they are human too , not a machine for big corporations..
This policy causes disparity- we are so bloody lucky to live in this wonderful country and should celebrate this privilege of living here!!
Fantastic idea, will make all the good spots less crowded for the rest of us
no
No.
No. Australia Day is a national public holiday. Period. All ships should be closed for once and people should allowed to enjoy and celebrate being Australian
Use it or lose it. Honour our National Day by taking it off unless you are an essential worker in which case you should get double pay. No swapping it for another day.
Isn't it great when woke ideology and capitalist profits coincide. Woollies gets to save money on penalty rates by hiding behind left wing political agendas.
If you don’t like Australia or Australia Day move to New Zealand or North Korea!
I am a proud Australian and will celebrate our great country full of diversity and our way of life.
Woolworths are not offering the switch for that reason. They just want to have enough staff on Australia Day while most people enjoy themselves. And probably so they dont have to pay double time
9NewsMelb We must ban Australia Day. All white people must start hating themselves, give all their property and possessions to our First Nations people and then get in a plane and get out of the country. This is the only answer.
Isn't it called a day in lue?
9NewsMelb If the company chooses to allow then it’s between them and the employee BUT they must offer for all public holidays.
Worried workers could be bullied by employers to work. Great thing about public holidays is owners/employers have no say.
No. This will only work in the favour of the employer.
Thier choice
9NewsAdel Wouldn’t be able to in security we’re in essential service. The has to be available 365 days a year. If it’s not on your roster, then you can take it off otherwise you work it.
No one else's business, it's between individuals and their employees.
9NewsAdel Geez that opens up a can of worms. What about Queens Birthday for Republicans, Labour Day for self employed, Cup days for those anti horse racing as these would have no significance to them. Xmas & Easter for non Christians? New year for the Chinese? chooseyourownpublicholidays
Get rid of that British flag
Work for the penalty rates.
Yes
No. Australia Day is to celebrate Australia having a beer. Not working it should be a public holiday
9NewsAdel Our work is giving us Friday off as well. 🤷♂️
Its only so they don't have to pay penalty rates.
9NewsAdel If so, should be able to apply it to other public holidays
