Every **** who works on Sundays for next to **** all.
I can see why the federal Liberal government would be all for this.
I don't get this, why are they being paid **** all? They will be paid exactly what the bloke working Tuesdays will get. Is he gettin paid **** all?
Unfortunately the bloke working Tuesday is getting paid SFA.
That's why he chooses to work weekends to pickup the penalty rates.
Retail workers are generally the lowest paid already so reducing penalty rates cuts their income again.
Generally retail is at least $20 an hour for over 21 hardly SFA for someone who has had no formal training
