Red Rooster and Cold Rock Ice Creamery franchise stores have been slapped with hundreds of charges *each* for allegedly breaching strict Victorian child labour laws, ABC’s 7.30 reports.
Red Rooster’s Wodonga franchise has been hit with a whopping 355 criminal charges of employing 10 children under the age of 15 without a permit on 168 occasions, failing to ensure the children were supervised by someone with a Working with Children Clearance, employing children for more hours than they are permitted to work, and employing them later than 9pm. Cold Rock’s Shepparton franchise is facing 124 criminal charges of employing six children for more hours than they were permitted to work, employing children later than 9pm and for failing to provide a rest break of at least 30 minutes after every three hours worked.Getting a part-time job is common for many Australian kids, but those opportunities can come with the risk of exploitation.
