Thousands query The Pink Salt

Date: 05 April 2005


More than 100,000 people have visited LHMU Hospitality Union's The Pink Salt protest campaign site in a little over a week - wanting to show they don't like the AWA individual employment contracts Evan Hansimikali and Bella Serventare have offered their great restaurant staff.

The Pink Salt in-box is now chocka with protesters telling Evan and Bella that if they want Sydney's vote in the TV-reality show My Restaurant Rules then they'd better create a better team-work relationship in their Manly noshery.

We know that some 60,000 people searching for The Pink Salt or My Restaurant Rules on Google have seen the LHMU Hospitality Union's sponsored link explaining what all the fuss is about.

Several hundred more have now clicked thru from Google to the LHMU website to read all about it.

Web-chatter everywhere

Several weblogs around the country are also carrying great articles about this blue.

A number of other websites are hosting the LHMU Hospitality Union's e-mail protest form.

And according to the on-line newsweekly Workers Online Evan Hansimikali and Bella Serventare are their Tool of the Week

AWAs not popular in restaurant and café industry

Meanwhile the Office of the Employment Advocate, the government agency charged with promoting individual employment contracts tried to get into this debate on the side of The Pink Salt people.

In a letter to the SMH the Employment Advocate boasted to readers that 37,000 AWAs have been approved for restaurants and cafes in the last three years.

That is not a great result!

It works out at less than 1% of people working in an industry which has a high turnover and an estimated half-a-million workers.
