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!!!!
June is always an exciting time at the station. It’s when we feel the love from all our listeners and supporters as we raise funds to keep the station going for another year. Our 2022 Radiothon theme is ‘Keep Community Strong’ and we’re so proud of the hundreds of volunteers who continue to create great community radio week in, week out, for listeners far and wide. Our independence and community control is vital, and our June Radiothon is when you get to show your support for community owned media with a tax deductible donation. Listen up, and chip in! Thanks to the delightful Annie Walter for this year’s Radiothon designs.
