Join the solidarity action this Saturday in Auburn in support of 4 workers who did not receive any pay for their work and are owed over $4,000. View this email in your browser SydSol action this Saturday! Meet 10:30 am this Saturday, outside Auburn station (S Parade exit) Sydney Solidarity Network is taking action at a restaurant in Auburn and your participation is needed!



The action is in support of four workers who were exploited at a factory in Sydney, owned by the same person who owns the restaurant, without receiving any pay.



Melinda, Sheila, Ulya and Zhuko, working holiday makers from Indonesia, were promised $120 per day, working 5-6 hours daily at a vegetable processing factory. They collectively worked 34 days back in May and June and are owed a total of $4,080 at the agreed rate.



The boss, who owns multiple businesses, has been promising to pay them endlessly, but never paid a cent in spite of multiple requests and reminders. With your help, SydSol plans to turn this greed to the workers' advantage by calling out this abuse and picket another business owned by the same boss, a restaurant, more susceptible to public pressure. ASIC files do not lie, we've done our homework!



Melinda, Sheila, Ulya and Zhuko contacted the ASF-IWA and SydSol and asked for help to get back their stolen wages. They are demanding the boss pay them the full $4,080 they are owed: Melinda 10 days, Ulya 6 days, Sheila 3 days and Zhuko 15 days.



Wage theft is all too common, towards foreign as well as local workers - anyone deemed vulnerable by these predatory business owners. But we workers have had enough, we are standing up and saying “NO!”, and ask you to join us!



SydSol participants are called on to gather outside Auburn station at 10:30 am this Saturday 26th August. From there we will head to the restaurant nearby. We plan to hold a peaceful protest, hand out leaflets to passersby and demand that the boss pay the workers the $4,080 they are owed.
