Aesop workers in Victorian retail stores are calling for Aesop to bargain fair and respectful conditions into an Enterprise Agreement. An Enterprise Agreement is a formal document which, once approved by the Fair Work Commission, sets the minimum terms and conditions for workers it covers. This is the way workers negotiate for fair wages and conditions. Our special petition had well over 100 Aesop workers in Victorian stores request Aesop to bargain for an Enterprise Agreement.

Why join RAFFWU?

Our campaigns are led by our members.

RAFFWU members at Aesop are leading our campaigns for workplace respect and fairness. This is the kind of grassroots, democratic organising that characterises our Union.

Since the arrival of L’Oreal, Retail consultants are being excluded from conversations that directly affect us. Sudden changes to evening shift pay rates, breaktimes, and shift allocations have had a big impact on us. Workers across Aesop are wanting wages and conditions that show respect, gives their work dignity and is fair for everyone.

We are a grassroots, member-led union that involves members directly in bargaining for a better workplace agreement, including at bargaining meetings.
