The Little Station That Could!!!
A good news story, thanks to Left After Breakfast.
Prior to the ABC 4 Corners Program disclosing the exploitation of workers in 7/11 Stores, the workers radio station 3CR embarked on their own investigation of young exploited workers employed by the franchise Crust Pizza Company and we had a win! Since probing into the company's industrial practices, Sydney Rd Brunswick store has now agreed to repay all past and present employees any money owing,including penalty rates, back wages owing for years, paid training shifts and the award rate to apply. The Managing Director of the chain has instigated an investigation of every franchisee throughout Australia and given assurances that they don't endorse the policies of exploiting young people.
If you don't fight you lose!!!!
We’re getting ready to launch 3CR’s Radiothon … support ‘Community Powered Radio’ in June 2021! We’re so proud of our supporters and can’t wait to hear from you all as we raise critical funds to keep the station going for another year. Tax deductible and for the community, YOUR donation will power independent community media that drives dissent and creates change. Artwork by Sam Wallman.
Every year 3CR joins communities around the world in celebrating the achievements of the labour movement, and to show solidarity with the continued struggle for labour rights and fair working conditions for everyone. Tune in from 7am on Saturday 1 May to hear unique workplace perspectives from Aboriginal communities protecting and rehabilitating country, Palestinian workers rights, the history of May Day, campaign updates, community events and much much more. Details here.
Well, 2020 really was a remarkable year! It’s been great to reflect on the incredible strength and resilience of our incredible community radio station in the face of a global pandemic. Read all about it in our 2020 Annual report, and don’t forget to continue to support us where and when you can.
