Domino's Pizza: Delivering Low Pay

news report
Friday December 21, 2007 12:38 by Socialist Youth - SY
See our Website! www.SocialistYouth.wordpress.com Recently Domino's pizza store workers in Wolverhampton and Derby earned negative wages after working for a month. Bosses had charged them extortionate amounts for rent and insurance to cheat them out of their wages. It leaves no doubt as to how Domino’s makes their £700 million every year. Many passers-by were shocked to hear of such exploitation and were very happy to sign our petition against low pay. More activity outside Domino’s has been planned in the next few weeks to ensure Domino’s doesn’t get away with treating other workers like slaves. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Is Thomas Monaghan (A dangerous right wing nutcase if ever there was one) still the president of Dominos?
Dominos drivers get paid cash in hand. So you cant actually track how much they earn. Good drivers earn a good bit. Bad drivers can lose money if keep making stupid mistakes. I get paid minimum wage. My undertanding of the issue is that the problem isnt that workers arent getting paid enough, but that the gov doesnt like how they are been giving the wages.
from cash payment who more vunerable the drivers or the franchise owner?
anyone here what happened to the short delivery drivers strike at Domino's last year?

Pay rate in the north dublin outlets, is €5.70 an hour and €1.50 a delivery. If the driver is good this works out to be over mnimum wage. Although if the driver happeneds by chance, to be keep on being sent to the outskits of the area, then they are not going to be paid well that night. The pay in Dominos is very random.
There was a bit in one of the local papers here promoting the new Dominos and bragging hugely about supporting the Special Olmpics by sponsoring a team. This is first I heard abotu the low pay. They are obviously pushing the compassion buttons to get people to buy their products,
delivery rate is 1.2 euros . and dominos policy is to give 1 delivery per run even if there is something on the way. average run is 8-9 km return city driving is about 10 liters per 100 km. petrol 1.45 euros. so the average price per run for the petrol only (without car exploitation cost-oil, brake pads, mileage...and other running costs) is 1.30 at least. and dont forget the delivery charge is not going for the driver , it suppose to cover delivery cost...suppose to... but....thats why dominos reporting profits...
