There's such a shortage of workers in Sydney at the moment. People in the hospitality industry are being snapped up like there's no tomorrow. There's no loyalty. I've seen some staff headhunted by other restaurants cause they're so desperate. Money's a great tool for negotiating. That means a win for the little guy.
