Two former Monkey Bean Café workers, are still waiting for pay they were denied in 2022.
We took up their fight and won!
But months later, the café still hasn’t paid a cent and repeated attempts to contact the owner have gone unanswered.

Wage theft is far too common and it’s happening quietly around us every single day.
And guess who gets hit first? Young workers.
Celeste and Connor know this all too well.

We are snowed under with cases like this, with young workers standing up and refusing to be taken advantage of.

Apprentices are some of the most exploited & bullied people in the workforce. Young workers in their unions & with @YWCVictoria have campaigned for years to improve the industry. They should be so proud of this win!
