Incredible
Our Grill’d member Pete gave an amazing speech on the weekend at the first industrial action taken by fast food workers in Australia. Pete spoke about his experience as a #GrilldBurger employee of almost a decade - it is definitely worth checking out!
More than 100 supporters turned out today for Australia’s first ever fast food strike.
Brave workers at Grill’d in Flinders Lane Melb defied their very anti-union, anti-worker employer & walked out to protest #GrilldBurgers ongoing use of dodgy traineeship’s to suppress wages.
