Electricity Bill Has A Future!

[POWERZONE]

I don't think it's a "blanket red herring" to investigate other questionable areas, I think it's a priority.

 

In one week so far we have the Liberal Party scabbing taxpayer money, a franchise chain scabbing off workers, and banks scabbing off consumers. These things are more important than a politically motivated anti union commission.

Looks like this franchise issue is more widespread than reported and therefore investigating it is an even higher priority.

7-Eleven wage abuse claims spread to national petrol chain United Petroleum

Franchisees at United Petroleum service stations have told the ABC that staff at some sites are being underpaid and allege the company has been warned.


The petrol station giant has rejected the claims, saying it "would never be involved in a business ripping off workers".


One franchisee operating a service station that is open 24 hours a day has admitted to paying his workers just $15 per hour.


He said he has put employees on the books for doing 20 hours of work rather than the actual 40-50 per employee.


The man said he believes some United employees were only being paid about $10-12 per hour, and claimed he has told a senior manager about underpaying workers with no response.
