Up to 40,000 hospitality workers, who are already among the lowest paid workers in the country, have been handed a wage cut by the Fair Work Commission. Its 14 May ruling will carve 25 percent off the Sunday penalty loading for casual workers in the bottom two pay grades of the restaurant industry award. The decision is a gift to restaurant and cafe bosses, who will pocket an extra $112 million every year. Exercising haste that is not generally evident when awarding wage increases, the Commission ordered that the pay cut take effect in a matter of weeks. (By contrast, a pay rise granted to Victorian community sector workers in 2012 is being phased in over eight years).
