From the SMH, a whistleblower at Gina’s Roy Hill says:
…up to 200 white-collar 457 visa workers, about half of whom are Korean nationals aged under 30, are clocking up more than 84 hours a week. Many are female.
They are employed by the contractor Samsung C&T and being paid about $16 an hour, the union says.
Many are not working in the occupations approved for their visas – a breach of the sponsoring employer’s obligations, the CFMEU claims.
Roy Hill has recently maintained that it was so inundated with job applications from locals that it did not need to use 457 visas.
