Time for Eddie Chan to pay up!
On Friday September 18 between 5-6pm UNITE will stage an action outside the 7-Eleven store at 187 Domain Rd, South Yarra. The store is located on the corner of Park St, opposite the Botanical Gardens.
The South Yarra store is part owned by Eddie Chan. Until recently Chan also owned the Moorabool St store in Geelong where he paid his workers only half of the wages they were owed!
UNITE estimates that these Geelong workers are owed more than $100,000. Chan is refusing to pay up despite being ordered to by the Fair Work Ombudsman.
UNITE is demanding that Chan pay these workers the money that is owed to them. We are also calling upon the Fair Work Ombudsman to prosecute Chan for serious breeches of the law.
7-Eleven head office would like to wash their hands of these problems, yet continue to maintain a relationship with dodgy operators like Eddie Chan. Similar scams are happening in many other 7-Eleven stores across the country.
Many 7-Eleven workers are still being paid for only half of the hours they work, are being bullied and are refused breaks and safe working conditions.
We call on our supporters to attend this action and say NO to the 7-Eleven rip-off!
