Levitt has set up a website and is signing up people to join a class action against 7-Eleven. He has pored over franchisee agreements and other company documents including retail reviews and store action plans and believes the business model used by 7-Eleven head office makes it hard for many franchisees to make a profit without trying to reduce labour costs.
The US head office has a well documented history of fostering similar problems, according to Levitt, who notes the US authorities have taken a much harder line on franchisees caught exploiting migrant workers with several prosecuted and sent to jail. Levitt calls on the Abbott Government to offer an amnesty to international students to come forward and give evidence of wage abuse without fear of being deported.
The first raid highlighted serious problems with wage fraud. The second raid was a joint audit by the regulator and 7-Eleven head office in October , with 56 stores in Victoria targeted.
Fair Work won the claim but the couple put their business into administration and the workers have never been paid. In September , Fair Work announced the outcomes of its raid on the 56 stores which found 30 per cent were breaching workplace regulations. Fast-forward four years and in September Fair Work raided 20 7-Eleven franchises across Australia and found 60 per cent were underpaying wages.
It is now investigating the role of head office and will publish a report late this year or early next year with a set of recommendations. Some of the criticism is that the regulator is under resourced and the powers of legislation need beefing up. She is concerned that wage fraud is widespread and is undermining the award wage system in Australia. There are more than 1. Many are underpaid. At a Senate hearing in Adelaide in July she grilled Fair Work about the convenience store chain and asked what they were doing.
She says it is time for a significant review. One of the things that needs to be reviewed is the regulator and whether it can do what it should be doing with the current resources. He says there is a strong potential for exploitation by franchisors of franchisees — and franchisees in turn pass it on to staff.
He believes that, given the evidence of widespread wage fraud and exploitation, there should be a fresh look at the Franchise Code of Conduct to make it stronger. He says 7-Eleven is one of the toughest — and most controlling - models he has come across. He believes the profit share of 57 per cent to head office and 43 per cent to the franchisees is forcing some franchisees to underpay salaries to stay afloat.
He says something needs to be done to fix the problem given it has been going on for years. Fels advocates for stronger penalties, more resources for the regulator and less reliance on enforceable undertakings. Fels says the regulator should be looking at section of the Fair Work Act, a provision that if you abet unlawful behaviour by others, you are liable for a penalty, admittedly a very small penalty. Fels has looked at the 7-Eleven franchise agreement, store action plans and other documents and come to the conclusion that he would not buy into a 7-Eleven franchise.
