There was a lot, but one thing that comes to mind is that my boss tried to tell our new employee that she would work her for an “unpaid trial period” for a week. When the new worker went off on break I let boss know that she legally had to pay the new worker. When the worker came back in my boss told her that surprise, she could actually get paid the hours she would work. Lol. Other things that come to mind:

• Some unscrupulous shipping practices
• Being told that if I find someone in our building was having a medical emergency, I was to call building management first and not emergency services (fuck that)
• Me insisting that yes, we did have to hang up the state and federal labor law posters in a visible place, and no we can’t just make copies and put them in a file organizer
• Me being told “don’t worry about safety” after discovering half of our office was powered by surge protectors and extension cords being daisy-chained
• Having to sign an email agreeing not to be paid owed overtime pay (this was during the pandemic, we were in crunch time and I was the only one that could fix the problems so I didn’t really have a choice)

Other stuff too but I don’t want to get too specific lol.

Asked for offer letters from employees asking for a counter. Then management would call that company and try to get them to recind their job offer, even threatened legal action. This happened to multiple people, fortunately none that I knew of lost the new opportunity.

Used bolt cutters to open a chain link fence and crowbared open a door.

But

As the judge said ‘In any other context, this would be considered breaking and entering but the provisions under the Act do permit these actions.’

There’s is a provision in the Telecommunications Act in Australia which says as a landowner, during an emergency you can not restrict a telecommunications tech access to their equipment. It also says a telecommunications tech can dismantle any obstical preventing access to their equipment.

The definition of emergency is left entirely up to the telecommunications company.
