Bartenders win penalty rates and secure work

Another grassroots union has had a big win in Melbourne recently...

UNITE members at the Carlton Club in Melbourne’s CBD have won secure jobs for every single worker in the establishment. After months of anti-union bullying the persistence of the bartenders has paid off.
Every single worker at the Carlton Club – including the bussies – has been moved from casual to part-time and will now receive the proper penalty rates. The Carlton Club workers have gone from earning below the minimum base rate a few months ago to receiving sick pay, annual leave and all the benefits of secure work. In a time of unprecedented casualisation, this is an incredible achievement.
