Aaron Farrugia no longer works at the popular vegan restaurant Smith and Daughters in the inner Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy, after a recent roster change left his name off it.
It’s left a bad taste in his mouth.
In May, he had approached the owners on behalf of other staff members, asking why they were being underpaid.
The first approach was a text message to the co-owner, Mo Wyse.
“I didn’t really get a response from that,” he said. “And I think that angered a lot of staff.”
“So we sent an email to the bosses just requesting that they assess everybody’s pay and rectify it immediately.”
The email asked the owners to respond in 14 days.
But two weeks later, he said nothing had changed.
“So then we collectively got together and sent them the next email and still nothing changed. And that really outraged some of the staff.”
Mr Farrugia and his co-workers had checked their rates of pay after watching the hospitality industry’s open secret blow up in public around them.
Celebrity chefs and corner cafes were caught up in a deluge of underpayment claims from workers — from kitchen staff working 100 hour weeks but being paid for 38, to waiters who lost their share of tips to pay for breakages.

Unfortunately, with around 3.5 billion internet users globally and well over 10 billion devices in use, cyber security will remain a major headache confronting business and government globally for years to come. For example, over the past year, the size of the global cybercrime economy has grown to more than $2 trillion annually, making it the world’s 13th largest economy by revenue, according to the Into the Web of Profit (Understanding the Growth of the Cybercrime Economy) study recently released by the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom.
