Earlier this year in March, there were few media releases by the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employeesâ Association (SDA), as part of the unionâs against companyâs proposed Enterprise Agreement.
Noni B Group, however, responded to it admitting that its prime focus lied with the team members and misleading statements were not in the best interest of its members. Noni B Group has also been showing its willingness to discuss these concerns with the SDA, especially the ones regarding safety, but has been unfortunate since the SDA has shown no interest to meet the Group and discuss the same.
