If you work in a newsagency and are under paid, call FWA

If you work in a newsagency and are not being paid the award rate you should approach the business owner.  If they do not address the issue, report the matter to Fair Work Australia.

I received a call yesterday from a newsagency employee being paid seven dollars an hour less than they should be paid.  I refused to call the newsagent on their behalf. The newsagent must know what they are doing, the under payment is too great for them not to.

I hope the employee does call FWA. This is the only way to deal with employers who underpay and refuse to address the matter.

While the vast majority of newsagents pay according the award, a small number are selfish enough to act in a way that puts a cloud over the rest of us.
