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!!!!
3CR is thrilled to have Dardi Munwurro (Strong Spirit) as a new affiliate organisation and new program each Monday at 1pm. Dardi is an independent Aboriginal organisation which works in the area of family violence, to support Aboriginal men of all ages to break the cycle of inter-generational trauma, and to become leaders, role models and mentors within their communities. Neithan and Tony (pictured) say the weekly Strong Spirit radio show will take a holistic approach, sharing information about Dardi’s work with Aboriginal men and their communities. It will show the wider community what Kooris are doing to support each other and to make the community safer.
3CR's iconic Beyond the Bars project has been on the air for 20 years this year, and we're looking forward to presenting our shows from six Victorian prisons during NAIDOC Week 5-9 July 2021. The broadcasts can be heard on 3CR 855AM, 3CR Digital, or streaming live. Check out previous years online now. Beyond the Bars receives financial support from the Community Broadcasting Foundation, the Koori Justice Unit and Corrections Victoria at the Department of Justice and Regulation, and the City of Yarra.
