Hamberger’s have always had it in for pizzas.
Finally some better news on the booming trade in Australian coolies, via the AFR:
The Fair Work Commission has axed Domino’s Pizza’s long expired agreements that paid thousands of workers significantly below minimum rates, leaving the franchise facing tens of million of dollars in higher labour costs.
The ruling, which introduces penalty rates to more than 22,000 employees across 450 stores, is one of the first major agreements to be terminated following reports franchises and retailers are paying below the award through expired deals with the Shop Distributive and Allied Employees Association.
Senior Deputy President Jonathan Hamberger ruled on Wednesday the more than two dozen agreements would be terminated by January 24, placing workers on the award, after Domino’s dropped its opposition last last night.
The franchisor had pushed for a 21-week transition period as necessary to pay workers through its new rostering system, but the senior deputy president settled on a three-month delay after Domino’s promised to backpay workers instead.
