Ice-cream lovers are being urged to join a summer boycott on treats including Paddle Pops and Golden Gaytimes to support Sydney factory workers at risk of having their pay slashed. Blue Ribbon, Splice, Viennetta, Calippo, Bubble'o'Bill, Golden Gaytime, Paddle Pop and Fruttare are all Streets ice-cream brands that could be hit by the boycott. "This summer we get to choose which brand of ice cream we buy to make us feel good," AMWU secretary Steve Murphy said. "This summer it is a choice between being on the side of workers in struggle or on the side of corporate greed." One of the impacted workers, Michelle Parkin, told Fairfax Media that she was "hugely nervous" about changes to the enterprise agreement.
