Junior Rates

Like me you might have been blown away by the announcement that the Fair Work Commission was abolishing junior rates of pay in the retail, fast food and pharmacies industries. It was plastered on headlines across legacy media, ACTU and Labor Party sources. But of course the headline isn't the whole story. We spoke to Josh Cullinan from the Retail and Fast Food Workers Union RAFFWU, the only voice at the Commission calling for the scrapping of the junior rate of pay about how the system continues to be rigged against young workers.
