Dominos pizza

Sue Bolton writes that the new Victorian Premier is using this bill to close down the Retail and Fast Food Workers Union, which has a good record on organising workers to win real gains and is a political threat to his base in the Shop Distributive and Allied Employees Union.

Domino's Pizza workers are missing out on penalty rates worth at least $32 million a year due to an old deal struck between the company and the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA). Under a deal struck in 2009, before the introduction of the national award system, which set minimum standards for the fast-food industry, Domino's need not pay workers penalty rates for late-night or weekend shifts.
