Worker strike action
In March 2017 approximately 10 distribution centre workers at Ceres Organics took strike action as the workers' union accused the company of failing to meet ethical certification standards. The distribution centre workers - striking for the second time as the company repeatedly refuses to negotiate over better wages, redundancy entitlements and overtime rates - say Ceres Organics also denied union members their right to natural justice.
