The Fair Work Commission has ruled in our favour to remove junior rates for 18-20 year olds with 6 months service working in retail, fast food & pharmacy.

Ahead of Black Friday tomorrow, thank you to the Australian Labor MPs and Senators supporting our #MakeAmazonPay campaign.
Amazon is the one of the most powerful & profitable corporations in the world and yet they exploit workers globally & refuse to give them a voice a work.
As you prepare to go into your retail frenzy, remember the Amazon workers who race around warehouses picking orders at unsustainable work rates set by algorithms that remove every pause in their workday. - SDA NSW Secretary @BernieSmith16#MakeAmazonPay
Amazon workers deserve a safe workplace, a secure job and fair wages & conditions.
Amazon must be held to account not just during Black Friday sales but all year round.
We’re out in Melbourne today talking to the community about our global #MakeAmazonPay campaign.
We’re in Canberra today to launch the new @McKellInstitute Safety Not Guaranteed Report.

This needs to change.
