Even as 7-Eleven has forked out $173 million to the more than 4,000 workers who were subjected to “endemic wage theft” at the convenience store chain’s franchise network, former ACCC boss Allan Fels told The SMH that the amount represented “only a fraction of the chain's unpaid wages.” The scandal became public in 2015 and Fels sat on a panel commissioned by the company to deal with the claims. But he now says that workers were entitled to another $100 or $200 million in pay. 7-Eleven said the wage claims “were assessed independently by Deloitte”. Link: https://lnkd.in/di6S_AS

4 年$173 million is a lot of money for 7-Eleven to pay. I'm looking forward to the new flavours of Slurpee, 'frozen ice' and 'tap water'.
