Steers Rip Off

[Lupus]

Exploitation is never good (and contracts are often a source of grey areas, if there even was a contract) but this was par for the course back then. Worked for St. Elmo's in the 90s, the manager made us clean windows, get up ladders to clean/replace light fittings & lamps, run errands to get him cigarettes...

Technically as a waiter in the 90s there were no contracts, we were expendable basically . We worked on tips and commission.

Jip, many employment contracts does include a line that states, you can be asked to do something outside of your responsibilities outlined in this contract.
This was in my previous company employee contract

Yeah, well, a pleasant distraction from the 14 school kids killed by their scholar transport service provider...

This is such a bad media release by steers. Sets a terrible precedent. But I guess in the age of social media and social justice warriors having far too much of a voice, you need to pander to this absolute nonsense.

All they should have said is:

1. Our franchises are privately owned, and labour matters should be addressed directly with the relevant franchisee

2. We have consulted our in house legal council who have advised that this action does not contravene the BCEA or any other labour regulation in South Africa.

3. We have requested the franchisee to please supply his staff with appropriate health and safety equipment, including appropriate clothing when required to carry out non core tasks. (Basically we asked them to proving them with overalls or non franchise branded clothing when doing these sort of task, so as not to upset sensitive social media influencers)

what a bunch of BS

it's not like it's demeaning or dangerous work or something, and they're getting paid for it, wtf is the problem?

reminds me of when that pussy Maimane went on a fat rant about domestics walking dogs for their employers ... MF I'd walk a friendly pooch out in the fresh air a hundred times rather than clean shyte from a toilet even once
