Darrell Lea rejects union claims on AWA drive
Darrell Lea Chocolate Shops Pty Ltd has rejected what it calls "inaccurate announcements" by unions and the ALP about its introduction of AWAs, saying it has reduced its total penalties and allowances bill by about $80,000 or 5% from a total of about $500,000 last year, with some 500 casual sales assistants now working under the individual contracts. As a proportion of its total wages bill, the savings represent less than 1%, it says.
