KEY POINTS:
Workers at the Auckland distribution centre of cosmetics giant L'Oreal will walk off the job today after rejecting a pay offer from the company.
National Distribution Union organiser Luke Cox said union members from the company's Auckland head office would picket at midday .
From there the workers would take the picket to L'Oreal's annual corporate product sale at Mt Smart Stadium at 2.45pm.
Mr Cox said L'Oreal was currently paying distribution workers about $13 an hour, while workers around the corner at the Supply Chain distribution centre earned up to $5 more an hour.
"We are only asking for a minimum rate of $15 an hour for existing staff but instead the company has offered a worthless new pay scale which they wouldn't even introduce until next year."
