Consumer advocate Michael Fraser has revealed in a submission to a Senate inquiry into wage exploitation at 7-Eleven that he first warned the convenience store group of the scandal in late 2012. Meanwhile, Stewart Levitt, the principal of law firm Levitt Robinson, has used his submission to urge the Federal Government to hold 7-Eleven’s Melbourne head office accountable for the scandal, rather than franchisees. He says the Government should provide an amnesty for 7-Eleven workers who are on student visas.
