Rockpool denies underpaying its staff

Rockpool Dining Group is accusing the United Workers Union of lying after it claimed the restaurant chain was engaging in calculated wage theft of up to $10 million. Law firm Maurice Blackburn alleged the high end restaurant chain committed fraud, claiming it tampered timesheet records to avoid overtime payments. United Workers Union National Secretary Tim Kennedy told Sky News he believed it was "one of the most significant and serious cases of wage theft in Australia". "What this shows is we have a systemic problem of wage theft at the highest level... this is a major problem in our country right now," he said. Image: News Corp Australia
