Keep the pressure on Spotlight Workers at Spotlight will be given a pay increase of just two cents an hour in exchange for losing entitlements like penalty rates, rest breaks and overtime.

Keep the pressure on Spotlight
Workers at Spotlight will be given a pay increase of just two cents an hour in exchange for losing entitlements like penalty rates, rest breaks and overtime.

The Australian-owned chain of fabric and homewares stores employs 6000 workers and rakes in over $600 million a year. But new staff will lose up to $90 a week under the terms of Spotlight’s new AWA individual contracts.

Support the Spotlight staff. Tell Spotlight's owners Morry Fraid and Ruben Fried how you feel about their company's actions.

Under the terms of the Spotlight AWA, employees were offered an extra 2 cents per hour, but had lost the following entitlements: penalty rates, overtime, rest breaks, annual leave loading, public holiday rates, and incentive-based payments and bonuses.

Politely tell the company owners Morry Fraid and Ruben Fried what you think about their company's actions.

Do let them know if you are an existing customer of Spotlight and how their actions might affect your ongoing relationship with Spotlight.
