OUR report about the recommended scrapping of Sunday penalty rates generated plenty of comment on The Morning Bulletin's Facebook page yesterday.

Here are some of those.

Travis Whiting I agree with the business owner even though I'm a worker. We all live in a 7 day work week now. Gone are the days where retail and hospitality was a majority Monday to Friday industry where some businesses open over the weekend. People need to stop being entitled and be more aware of operating cost of businesses. If the business isn't viable and the business closes, no job. You either have jobs or not.

Sophie Jackson Before the cyclone I worked as a casual marketing assistant at a local sporting club in Yeppoon. For one event I was asked to work the Sunday which I readily accepted thinking I would be getting double pay for the day.

Peter Turner Workers rights have been eroded away. The weekend is a time for families. Businesses who open and take that away should be forced to pay penalty rates. Our fathers and grandfathers fought for workers rights. Has this generation stopped caring about what is morally right.
