Australia's biggest and most profitable publicly owned company certainly doesn't pay their drivers anywhere near that to do the exact same job (literally delivering packages).
A note for people thinking this is groundbreaking, it will be when it applies to the vastly larger competitor who pays hefty dividends each year to the federal budget.
- jsmeaton 5y agoAre you talking about Australia Post? If so, the numbers I’m finding are $27-$28/h part time gigs that include leave etc. Are you seeing different numbers or have I got the wrong company?
- PickledHotdog 5y agoRight company. And unless things have changed in the last 12 months, a sizeable number of their delivery drivers are contractors, not part timers (though they do exist)
- cookie_monsta 5y agoNot an Oz Post fanboy at all, but in the interest of comparing oranges with oranges, don't they supply vehicles? And what is their casual rate?
- Fuzzwah 5y agoI see plenty of auspost delivery drivers working in vans hired from hertz etc. I've always figured that they were contractors who hired the van for tax reasons.
- ivanvanderbyl 5y agoFrom a business standpoint I would think it'd be cheaper short term for AusPost to rent Hertz vans than own and maintain those assets themselves. Especially over the past 2 years when it's been impossible to buy new vehicles in Australia at a normal price or timeframe.
