Save Our Weekend

DID YOU SEE THE NEWS? A recent poll of over 3,000 Australians found 76% support weekend rates - even among those that don’t even earn them! The poll also found that if the Fair Work Commission decides to cut weekend rates, 64% of people would think very negatively or negatively of a business that decided to pass on the cut. That is phenomenal support! You can read more about it here. WE CAN’T REST THERE These are great figures – but weekend rates are still under threat, despite the overwhelming community support. 55% of the poll respondents also said they would support hospitality workers taking strike action to protect their weekend rates. What we need to know is what hospitality workers would be prepared to do to save weekend rates. Slashing weekend rates is a pay cut hospitality workers can’t afford and don’t deserve. Don’t wait till it’s too late – get your hospitality mates to fill out the Hospitality Census now so we know what it’s like working in hospo – and what actions we should plan alongside hospo workers all over Australia. Together we can Save our Weekend. Save Our Weekend http://www.saveourweekend.org.au/
