Australia's top grocer Woolworths said on Monday it has reached an agreement with industrial union workers to increase wages, resolving the strike action that had been affecting store service levels at Woolworths supermarkets across Australia.

The Health Workers Rank-and File Committee—a group of doctors, nurses, pathology and ancillary health workers from across Australia—extends its full support and solidarity to striking Woolworths and Lineage Cold Storage workers.

Woolworths' Melbourne South Regional Distribution Centre (MSRDC) is set to resume operations after the United Workers Union endorsed new enterprise agreement offers from the Australian supermarket chain.

The 17-day industrial action between Woolworths and the United Workers' Union is finally over. The action shut down Woolworths' Melbourne South Distribution Centre - on Monday, the retailer said it cost $140 million.
