Several hundred Coles workers and supporters marched from Hyde Park through the city streets to the Broadway Shopping Centre on December 12 in protest at the lock-out of 350 workers from the Smeaton Grange warehouse. They sat down on the road outside the shopping centre to make their case.

Chants of “Who stole Christmas? Coles stole Christmas!” echoed up and down Parramatta Road as passers-by took flyers and expressed solidarity.
