Comment on Grill’d faces Australia's ‘first-ever' fast food strike over low-pay, 'unfair' conditions claims

Power to them, I hope people support them however they can!
Ridiculous that this trainee stuff is still going on with Grill’d specifically - they’ve been in the news media for it since at least 2016 (earliest story I can find).
What this SBS article doesn’t mention is that Grill’d has been known to drag their feet on progressing a trainee, to just keep them on the lower rate indefinitely.

Yes, that was my experience at OTR. I worked there for like 7 or 8 months before quitting and they’d only just started the “training” around the time I left and even then it was super slow, like one session a fortnight or something. The HappyWash employee at my place was immediately moved into the store when he completed his traineeship (they had a different one to us) so the company put him on the retail traineeship and lower his wage back to $16 or whatever it was. Then they hired a teenager to fill the HappyWash role.
