Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 03/12/2007 - 12:25pm.Following a last minute protest by hundreds of young workers and a significant deal between the National Distribution Union and Progressive, a last minute change to a watered-down youth rates bill was pushed through Parliament.
Green MP Sue Bradford’s bill to abolish youth rates for 16 and 17-year-olds was pulled randomly by parliamentary ballot in 2005 during Unite Union’s high-publicity fast-food strikes to end youth rates in 2005.
