PETITION TO THE PREMIER DANIEL ANDREWS FOR FREE AND SAFE PARKING FOR RETAIL AND FAST FOOD WORKERS
We call upon the Victorian Government to amend planning laws to require shopping centre owners to provide free and safe parking for retail and fast food workers at their centres.
Why is this important?
Retail and fast food workers perform a very important role for the community. Very often they live long distances from work across suburbs and have no choice but to drive to work.
Traditionally in the majority of cases parking at work has been free for retail and fast food workers.
Recently Southland has announced plans charge workers for parking. Southland workers could be forced to fork out up to $1300 a year extra.
This is a cost retail and fast food workers cannot afford and do not deserve.
There is also a health and safety risk if workers must park a long distance away at night.
We call upon the Victorian Government to amend planning laws to require shopping centre owners to provide free and safe parking for retail and fast food workers at their centres.
The SDA stands with workers against unfair parking charges.
