Unite action against 7-Eleven
|
High prices and low pay!
12 – 1pm Friday September 5th outside 7-Eleven 263 Bourke Street City. UNITE will be staging the first of many actions against 7-Eleven this Friday. UNITE is currently campaigning to organise 7-Eleven workers, some of whom get paid as little as $9 per hour. We call on 7-Eleven head office to urgently meet with UNITE officials so we can start to work through the many problems that exist. We urge all of our supporters in the trade union movement to attend the action in solidarity with these struggling workers. Please bring union banners and flags on the day. Did you know that most 7-Eleven workers are paid as little as $9-10 per hour? At the same time 7-Eleven boasts that they are the largest operator of convenience stores in the world. They have more than 300 stores in Australia and turned over more than $1.1 billion last year! 7-Eleven mostly employ international students who have had little work experience and often don’t know their rights. They are bullied and threatened with visa cancellations if they complain about their poor conditions. more info: Anthony 0417368215 | www.unite.org.au | info@unite.org.au | 93281555 |
