Protest AWA's

Protest Unfair AWA's

 

One of the competitors on the high-profile TV reality game My Restaurant Rules tried to force its workers onto AWA individual employment contracts on the weekend.

 

The TV show caught the bosses dudding the wages and conditions of the workforce.

And it is causing a media storm.

It is rare that such popular culture programs discuss our issues at such a crucial time.
