A hospitality worker says the workplace culture for her industry needs to change and workers should stay connected to achieve that.
The Unite Union, which represents workers at hotels, casinos, cinema and fast food outlets, is running mobile clinics across the country as part of its "Hospo Help" programme to educate workers about their rights and offer advice.
It says since the first lockdown, it has been constantly contacted by workers who know they have been treated unfairly, but do not know what to do about it. The problems include illegal pay cuts, no or few guaranteed hours, cancelled shifts, and a lack of sick leave and rest breaks.
