Being a migrant myself, I'm all for sensible migration across the board.

But the hospitality sector is taking the piss when they're crying out loud about an impending crisis. They're the ones who kept the award suppressed, 24 hour rosters with no extra compensation amd so on.

Its not a mystery why only the most desperate get into the industry. Its not just cafes, but hotels and venues as well that are just fucking up the industry.

The Union is the worst in Australia. It is completely run for commerce and has zero worker support functions.
