The Australian Restaurant and Cafes Association (Arca) has urged hospitality staff affected by the allegations of harassment, discrimination or unsafe workplaces to come forward after board member Anton Forte resigned.
Forte, who is the chief executive of high profile bar and restaurant group Swillhouse, tendered his resignation from Arca after the Sydney Morning Herald published an investigation alleging staff sexual assault and harassment had taken place within the group’s venues. Forte was not alleged to be involved in any misconduct.
