This is very reminiscent of the On The Run traineeship scandal that occurred in South Australia not long ago. Anyone know of other companies still using these traineeship loopholes to commit mass wage theft?

Considering that Grill’d claim to help community groups with donations, this is very hypocritical. They can help and homeless by paying their employees a living wage.

Maybe the RAFFWU needs to apply to be recipients of “Local Matters”

Carnegie was big on that. He would pour millions into public works projects like libraries, schools, and performance halls. At the same time he would send auditors to figure out the average cost of living around his steel mills and intentionally pay employees about 80% of that just to keep them dependent on him.

All corporations are evil. All billionaires are bastards.
