A UNION has threatened to boycott Woolworths if it does not help workers and subcontractors owed money following the collapse of a company building a supermarket in Sydney's north.
But the supermarket giant says it has paid in full for all work at its new supermarket site in Balgowlah and the matter is now in the hands of the administrator of Southern Cross Constructions.
The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) says more than $5 million is owed for work at the site after the company collapsed in October.
The union's NSW secretary Brian Parker said on Friday that Woolworths had a moral obligation to help workers and subcontractors on the project.
"Six weeks out from Christmas we're looking at these companies going broke ... and workers put on the dole queue and looking at a very bleak Christmas," Mr Parker told reporters.
Protesters targeted Woolworths on Sydney's George Street on Friday and Mr Parker said protests would continue to target the supermarket giant until it reached an agreement.
He said Woolworths had made a $1.8 billion profit in the last financial year but wouldn't even discuss the $5 million needed to resolve the issue.
"We haven't yet called upon our members to boycott Woolworths," he said.
"But in the next seven days if we haven't got a result on this, we'll be calling on not only our members but everybody across the trade union movement to not go and shop at Woolworths."
Woolworths said in a statement it had paid Southern Cross Constructions in full for all work undertaken at the Balgowlah site.
"Woolworths has explained this to the CFMEU previously. The matter is now in the hands of the administrator," it said.
