Foodstuffs distribution centre staff will protest their pay at three Christchurch supermarkets this afternoon.

National Distribution Union South Island regional secretary Paul Watson says each of the targeted supermarkets, two Pak 'n Save and one New World, was owned by a director of Foodstuffs South Island, which was refusing to improve wages through collective bargaining.

"They are reaping huge rewards from shoppers spending millions of dollars across their checkout counters but when it comes to paying their workers a decent living wage much is left to be desired."
