Hundreds of Farmers retail workers across the country say they'll walk off the job today

Beauty, sales and service assistants have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action over their pay and pay review process.

The strike action will range from one hour to five hours and affect 55 stores.

First Union retail secretary, Tali Williams, says it's unusual for Farmers staff to strike, so the fact they're taking action shows how fed up they are.

She says Farmers workers typically start on or near the minimum wage of $16.50, with $17.50 being the end of the pay scale for most roles.
