The hospitality industry is heading to court over new labour rules for fast-food outlets, restaurants, and caterers.
Restaurants and fast-food outlets are facing a raft of new rules after the Labour Department unilaterally extended the bargaining councilâs collective agreement to include employers who were not previously part of the council.
The agreement with the Bargaining Council for the Fast Food, Restaurant, Catering, and Allied Trades now applies to all employers and employees in the industry.
A higher wage bill, December bonuses, and weekly payments to clean uniforms are just some of the additional costs payable by employers under the collective bargaining agreement.
