In this episode, Tom Dillon, a Research Fellow at the Centre for Employment and Labour Relations Law, reveals alarming findings about underpayment among young workers in Australia. A study shows that one in three young employees may be underpaid, with many earning as little as $10 an hour. The discussion covers the legal complexities faced by these workers, including unpaid overtime and the stigmas surrounding gender and socio-economic disparities. Dillon also shares insights on how to improve workplace rights and highlights the challenges young workers face in asserting them.
