    This is why RAFFWU is striking in October and why everyone should dump SDA for RAFFWU.

    Presumably these checks are taking place while employees are still on the clock. Because if they’re not paid to be there, they should be free to leave immediately and without hindrance.

    Right?

      No idea about Coles, but other retailers have been caught doing off the clock bag checks and more importantly waiting for your bag to be checked. They were forced to provide back pay.
