Episode Details

The Fair Work Commission has abolished junior pay rates for eighteen to twenty-year-olds in retail, fast food, and pharmacy jobs, replacing them with the full adult wage. This change, effective over four years starting December, aims to address the high cost of living for young adults while considering the challenges of hiring inexperienced teens. Unions and the Treasurer support the decision, but business groups express concerns about increased costs and potential hiring difficulties.
