Driver's sacking for wanting out of roster unfair; Restaurant's treatment of overseas students reported to authorities

A tow-truck driver sacked after telling his employer he wanted out of a long-standing out-of-hours roster system has been awarded $22,408 compensation, despite FWA finding he should have given more notice that he wanted change; while the tribunal has dismissed a visa worker's dismissal claim against an Indian restaurant but said it would refer to authorities evidence that students seeking permanent residency were paid little or nothing for work they performed.
