Vic: Strike at Karadoc ends as workers win hefty pay rise

An 11-day strike at one of the vineyards of Olympic sponsor Southcorp has ended with
workers winning a hefty pay rise.

About 200 workers at Karadoc Winery in Victoria's north-west are set to resume normal
duties tomorrow after winning their demand for a 18 per cent wage increase over three
years.

Australian Workers' Union state secretary BILL SHORTEN says the rise has given workers
parity with the pay and conditions of employees at Southcorp's Great Western winery.

He says the deal will give workers an average of $60 a week extra in their pay.
