Student worker paid just 47 cents an hour by 7-Eleven...

International student Pranay Alawala, who worked in three 7-Eleven stores in Brisbane, recently secured a payout of $33,000 from his former employer.

So far more than 110 workers have been paid out an estimated $2.8 million through an independent panel assessing claims.

Savouring the taste of success at a Brisbane cafe after the two-year battle, Mr Alawala can now afford a coffee like the ones he used to serve to 7-Eleven customers.

“(It’s) good (coffee)... better than 7-Eleven,” he said with a laugh.

Mr Alawala is one of the more than 60 former 7-Eleven workers represented by Maurice Blackburn lawyers. Full story...
