KFC CLASS ACTION RAFFWU has joined with Shine Lawyers over a class action against KFC regarding the company’s failure to provide KFC workers with paid 10 minute breaks. Under the KFC Enterprise Agreement and the Fast Food Industry Award, KFC and its franchisees operating KFC restaurants across Australia, are required to provide workers with a paid 10 minute break for over four hours, and two 10 minute paid breaks for shifts longer than 9 hours. RAFFWU encourages current or former KFC employees, who worked at a KFC restaurant in Australia from late 2017 and did not receive at least one 10 minute paid break to register for the class action investigation. www.shine.com.au/kfc VOY PAYS & PLEADS ON ADVERSE ACTION On 12 September 2023, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia declared Voy Pty Limited took adverse action against a RAFFWU member who worked full-time for the business. In late 2022, RAFFWU commenced legal action against Voy Pty Ltd. The action related to a white goods retailer in regional NSW. The action involved adverse action against a member of RAFFWU for exercising their workplace right to personal leave. The employer paid our member for their pain, hurt and suffering the equivalent of five months wages. We are delighted the matter resolved with compensation paid to our member for their pain and suffering, and a declaration made by the Court for the offending conduct. It pays to be a member of a fighting union. MEMBERS WIN BACKPAY So many workers are responsible for opening and closing stores, securing cash or supervising others but hardly any of us are classified and paid at the proper level. RAFFWU stepped in to help me and I was back paid over $4,000 including super. Even a dollar an hour adds up and with my union I was paid what I was owed. I encourage every retail and fast food worker to join the union that fights for us and is always on our side. That’s RAFFWU. Over $6000 recovered for Rohahn! Sydney member Rohahn was wrongly classified in their casual retail job when RAFFWU stepped in. Workers responsible for stores, opening or closing, securing cash or supervising others need to be classified higher. It adds up, Rohahn has been paid over $6,000 plus interest and superannuation for 18 months in their casual retail job. It pays to be union. - Justeene, RAFFWU member 14
