I really don't see the problem with a business charging a little extra on penalty rate days or just flat out not opening. As long as they are fairly compensating their workers for giving up a national day of rest and recreation, that's fine.

It's just idiot small business owners being sold a grievance and exploited by big businesses that are smart enough not to damage their own reputation. While I don't think the banks are singularly behind it it'll be them, healthcare companies, cleaning companies, aged care providers, larger retail operators, etc that will benefit from it. Cafes and pubs and other small businesses are going to struggle just as much as they do now without penalty rates.

Yeah, either action is fine if that's what works for them and they just pick one and get on with it. But putting up that lovely sign, or blaming the workers for being "greedy" or "entitled" cause they don't want to get paid the same for working shittier hours, that's a major dick move.

Most public holidays are usually family-related days anyway. Like most people, I went to visit family over the long weekend and didnt need to go to cafe or restaurant at all, as we ate at home. So the demand for these businesses to be open is already lower than normal anyway, its no wonder they cant break even by being open. The popular shops will have the clientele to open for, and the less popular shops can stay shut and save themselves the effort and enjoy the day off. I have literally no business experience and I can figure this out.

Anidav posted:As if Dominos needs to apply a loving surcharge. They're not a small time pub they're a multinational cheap pizza brand. I have absolutely no issue with paying a surcharge on public holidays. If it's done in an overly aggressive and over the top way (such as the signs the Bombay Bicycle Club in Adelaide put up last year saying they would have to double all their prices) then yeah, gently caress them. If it is however done in a straightforward "hey, to make it worth opening on this day we have to charge a little bit more" way like Dominoes does then I'm happy to pay. Plus lots of those chain places are franchisees that already get screwed over by the head office. Amoeba102 posted:Easter Saturday is a public holiday, except for WA and SA. This year in SA there were public holidays on Good Friday, Easter Saturday, and Easter Monday. The Sunday wasn't a public holiday, but shopping centres were closed.

They must have changed it since December. Did SA have it last year? And apparently only NSW has a public holiday for Sunday.

They don't make a profit, are squatting on their property and steal all their produce. So their labour costs are directly proportional to their menu prices.

Can't the reason that most restaurants and pubs struggle be put down to the overwhelming competition (or in the case of suburban pubs, excessively restrictive liquor liscencing laws)? It seems super idiotic to me to blame high wages when you've opted to enter a massively oversaturated industry with high start up costs.

It seems super idiotic to me to blame high wages when you've opted to enter a massively oversaturated industry with high start up costs. I don't know about other cities but in Canberra high rents are a problem. A few years ago I was wondering what it would take to open a small pub (not that I had any real intention of actually going through with it), and the rents would have meant $10 beers or a shitload more customers than I'd like. No wonder they all rely on pokies.

iiNet just lost #iidallas and they (and Dodo) will be compelled to hand over the names and addresses of 4726 customers. Judge will have oversight over the letters sent to these individuals with the stated intent of preventing "speculative invoicing" (basically where the rights holders go "we'll sue you unless you pay cash moneys now"), but this sets a very interesting precedent.

Tarantula posted:Hey guys I need a little advice, last week I had my wisdom teeth taken out I took the week off and told my boss all seemed well. When I brushed my teeth today I must have cut or damaged the blood clot or something and i've been spitting and crap all morning, I rang my boss on the only contact number I had (I was never given his work number or anything), then i get a call back and i'm told I have to have a meeting with HR tomorrow when I come in for possibly "abandoning work" or something like that, it seems like a bunch of crap to me because I thought I was doing the right thing by not turning up at work with a bloody mouth and contacting my boss with the only number i have. They also told me that if I will probably not be getting an extension on my contract. Did I actually do anything wrong? I'm pretty sure that they can't fire you for job abandonment for taking one day off with a medical certificate and advising your boss (but IANAL). I know in our company we have terminated people before for job abandonment but those have been in circumstances where the employee has failed to show up for work for weeks, wont answer the phone when we call and wont return our messages. After a couple of weeks we just send them a letter telling them that we have terminated their employment for job abandonment.
