I signed an AWA... working public holidays for normal rate, no penalty rates for weekend/night work and minimal wages is the future for us all!!

what is it and why did you have to sign it?

what is it and why did you have to sign it?

Australian Workplace Agreement ----- an individual contract... i had to sign it or i would not have been given a job... means that i am not covered by any award rates or anything...

 

[SuGa BunI =D]

Ummm isn't there laws restricting the opening hours on Christmas day (even if you are in a high tourist area)? And even if there isn't - You can't be made to work on a public holiday - it's your right!!!
Speak to your union!!! (Or Industrial Relations)

It depends on what you do. In some industries, eg, I have a friend who is like, a care person for people with disabilities that need 24hr care, so obviously someone has to work.

Haha, my work are being scabby (xmas week of all frigging weeks ) and are saving on wages, so they're only giving us really short shifts so we don't get breaks

YOU have to be paid an award... If your not paid an award, you have to above the award. Its the law (I'm sure about this one). Awards are to protect the employee's right to make sure they get a minium payment for the work they do in a selected industry.

I didn't think of those types of work industries. But retail? Like most of the Christmas Day workers on this forum are forced?

Good luck to all the people working at the sales may your customers not be to annoying. We are all sparing a thought for those of you who have to (not wanted too) work New Years Eve, and New Years and the other holidays been .

As for me I don’t work so 0 hours this Christmas!
