An Open Letter to Patrick Campion

Dear Sir,

In your recent correspondence sent to staff on Tuesday August 7 you refer to staff at City Tatts as Valued Staff Members.

Valued Staff Members?

These are the same valued staff members who don't get a regular roster until a couple of days before the shifts are to start. This is despite repeated requests for rosters to be passed to staff in advance on many, many occasions.

These are the same valued staff members that you and your executive team headed by Guilfoyle thanked last Christmas for an entire years work with a tiny cup cake (which staff had to sign for).

These are the same valued staff members who were not paid public holiday rates, as award requirements dictate, during public holidays over Christmas last year and early this year.

The same valued staff members who only got paid their public holiday rates when they complained about not being paid.

The same valued staff members who don't receive any overtime, even when colleagues are sick or indisposed.

The same valued staff members who are expected to work full shifts with no support often on their own when fellow staff do not show up for shifts.

The same valued staff members who thought you looked like a rabbit trapped in a spotlight when delivering you spiel about the recent newspaper articles.

The same valued staff members who don't believe a word you say!

Signed
The Valued Staff Members Group, City Tattersalls Club
