-3 delivery riders have been killed at work within a month in Australia, their families are barely not entitled to compo because they are employed on sham contract arrangements and not classed as workers.
-Coles, Woolworths, 7/11, McDonalds & Calombaris have all perpetrated #WageTheft on an industrial scale against young workers, stealing millions
-Sexual harassment, bullying & poor mental health at work is real, particularly for women, migrants and apprentices due to the power imbalance
