BUT Woolworths competes with Coles, BiLo, Franklins etc who draw their work force from the same pool and are governed by the same laws.
Would Woolworths workers enjoy the same conditions if Nilgiris (a large Indian supermarket chain) could set up next door using Indian workers on Indian wages who weren't subject to Australian workplace laws ?
Would Australians pay higher prices to buy the same trolley full of groceries just to keep Woolworth workers pay and conditions up ?
This is where QF International finds itself.
