An Australian supermarket is under attack over allegations of "appalling" working conditions, after a manger asked staff to work for pizza instead of money on a Sunday, with employees claiming the directive would have been a result of pressure from the executive level at the supermarket giant. "Obviously this manager has decided for reasons of his own to request people to come and work unpaid," he said. The manager would have been pressured and may have felt this was the only measure to ask his staff for this free work. Any team members working at the stated time will be paid as normal." This store manager would have been under extreme pressure from a regional manager and state operations manger to get the job done without spending any more money."
