NSW: Bakers go back to kneading dough
Bakers are back on the breadline, calling off a strike over pay.
About 1,000 bakers from Buttercup walked off the job yesterday after rejecting an offer
of a six per cent pay rise.
There were fears bread supplies across New South Wales would be halved tomorrow if
workers continued their planned 48-hour strike.
Miscellaneous Workers' Union assistant secretary MARK BOYD says after ongoing negotiations,
the company has revised its offer to eight per cent.
The workers are seeking a 10 per cent pay increase over two years.
Negotiations over the pay offer are continuing, and the parties will return to the
NSW Industrial Relations Commission on Tuesday.
