Woolworths is one of Australia’s Top 10 companies, ubiquitous in media and location, widely held in Superfunds and self managed retiree funds.
This is a company with 18 million visits per week
Griil’d is an overpriced burger joint that has done remarkably well. They have expanded to around 150 stores. Part of that success can be put down to ripping off workers and churning staff, while overworking the remaining staff
Is there any point for workers in service an retail to work hard and give a fu** about their hobs or emplyers? The reward for effort is to be underpaid and overworked.
If the companies and bosses don't give a s**t, why should the workers?
This is a real issue and concern.
Society is built on trust and the rule of law. Sadly this has been put at risk by ruthless and or negligent employers.
Individual liability of directors and see through recent divorce is required.
