UNITE ACTION: Meet from 5pm – 6pm Thursday October 9 at 743 Swanston Street, Carlton.

The store is near the corner of Swanston and Grattan Streets (close to Melbourne Uni).

This week, as university students are back on campus, UNITE has decided to target the 7-Eleven store in Carlton closest to Melbourne University. We will be letting students know about the super-exploitation taking place at 7-Eleven stores.

This store is usually visited by hundreds of students who study at Melbourne Uni or who live around the area. We will use the action to highlight the illegal employment practices that 7-Eleven is engaged in. We will also ask students to consider shopping at a convenience store that does not rip-off their fellow students.

Plans are also in place to letterbox the many apartment blocks in the area where thousands of students live. We will be distributing our very popular leaflet titled 7-Eleven: High prices and low pay! Please come along to the action or if you can help letterbox an area contact Anthony Main on 0417368215.
