Bugger. Must have been taken down by Court Order. BHP wins this round. Looks like money (use of #Silks) beats free-press again, as the author foresaw. It may have been archived somewhere, but that’s beyond my paygrade. The article was very specific about the #Fraud and #WageTheft perpetrated by BHP and its associates. Ah, well, we’ll get to know all about it when the case is adjudicated in the highest Court of the land, because with billions of $$ at stake, you can bet BHP will appeal every judgement along the way. #FuckTheRich

Here we go… this is what big #Corporations and their associated #Workforce sub-contracting is all about. #Fleecing #Workers and walking away from #DutyOfCare using #LegalAttactDogs and flooding the courts with legal counters backed up with ample funding to drown out #Litigation (There are new laws — anti SLAPP? — in the UK to prevent this from happening, but not here) and out-spend legitimate lawsuits. Laws to protect the wealthy and control everyone else.

“This has all the hallmarks of strategic litigation for commercial advantage. BHP, with its army of hundreds of PR staff, refused to respond to repeated approaches from Michael West Media. Yet they were lightning fast to sue. They’re weaponising our public courts — funded by taxpayers — to silence a simple enquiry into potential systemic wage theft. All while pocketing around $622 million a year in taxpayer-funded diesel fuel tax credits.”

@Elizafox FWIW, the psychology behind wage discrimination is pretty weird.

A lot of people believe wage-paying to not be a side of a commercial transaction, as the capitalism's official doctrine says, but funding of a lifestyle "appropriate" to the labourer's social standing. And at that point, all the sexist and classist ideas about what kind of people "deserve" what levels of living come in. Oftentimes, #WageTheft is "justified" by the same mechanism: since laws require paying a Designated Poverty-Deserving Person(tm) more than poverty wage, a manager believes the laws to be wrong and deserving to be ignored. You never see a major company's CEO's wage being thieved: #Patriarchy's ideas about a CEO's expected lifestyle say that he [sic] deserves everything that he can get.

Authoritarian ideologies don't just do "It's impossible to do X, therefore it's very important to harshly punish everybody who does X", they also go "Inequity happens naturally, theferore we must work hard to ensure that inequity happens".

Many Beverly Grove beauty retail employees experience unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, and missed breaks. California labor laws provide strong protections and allow workers to recover unpaid wages and penalties.

People insisting it's normal to do work for a company without being paid for it is just wild to me. People literally arguing against their own interests out of pure ignorance.

In the US this is covered by the #FairLaborStandardsAct (#FLSA) which is extremely simple when defining what's considered on-the-job work. If it is mandatory, work-related, and for the benefit of the company, then it is on-the-job work and you should be paid for the time.

Coordinating with IT on what device they're going to ship you? That's on-the-job work.

Driving to a job site that is not your main office? That's on-the-job work.

Meeting with a client for lunch to discuss your latest deliverable? That's on-the-job work.

Know your rights, folks. #WageTheft is the top form of theft in the US by a wide margin

We have built a fully functioning business model, and have a good proof of concept, but we need bridge funding from #philanthropy to get through this year as our work expands.

This looks like #WageTheft

ASIC is finally acting like the corporate watchdog it was meant to be. This deep dive by @abc shows how the regulator, long criticised as a "toothless tiger," has started bringing real cases against greenwashing, wage theft, and boardroom failures.
It's a reminder: strong, publicly-funded regulators are a cornerstone of a just economy. They protect people from predatory corporate behaviour that privatises profit and socialises harm.
For decades, neoliberalism defanged these institutions. When regulators don't regulate, workers get stolen from, consumers get lied to, and the planet gets greenwashed.
