The families of teenage workers at fast food and retail outlets have accused one of Australia’s largest unions of “predatory” recruitment tactics.
Guardian Australia has spoken with several young workers and families who feel their teenagers were pressured to join the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees’ Association (SDA) in their first days on the job, including a 14-year-old who was recruited in mid-2024 on her first shift at Hungry Jack’s.
