Golden Circle workers in Queensland will stop work to protest a pay proposal a union says will cut real wages as the cost of living is rising.
The United Workers Union says staff are being offered between two per cent and 2.5 per cent in a four-year proposal despite inflation running at more than five per cent in the past 12 months.
UWU spokesman Martin de Rooy says staff will stop work, wear straw hats and carry pineapples while chanting outside the food-processing company's Northgate cannery in Brisbane on Wednesday.
