Comment on Clothing retailer Jeanswest collapses, with 90 stores to close and hundreds of jobs lost

They’re getting a bit of a bailout.

They’re paying the workers directly for their missing entitlements? That’s astonishingly good of the government.

That legislation waa brought in under the Howard governemnt from memory?
It’s been awhile (so my memory could be faulty) but their was some large busines shit the bed back in the day and lots of employees were left missing their holiday pay, super etc and legilsation was subsequently introduced to cover it.

I’m thoroughly impressed.

I mean they’re probably paying the CEO and asking that the CEO pass it onto the workers. The CEO’ll likely pay off their credit card or get some work done on their frown lines from all the stress.

Yeah, I’m sure that’s how it works.

I don’t have much trust in the government helping the little people.
