United Petroleum is at war with former franchisees as accusations fly of underpayment and ruined lives. And it all started over a meat pie.

There were new systems and standards to learn.Every month, thousands of dollars' worth of unsold food was thrown away — at the franchisees' expense."Everything changed after Pie Face," said Yasmin*, who was locked out of her United franchise in October 2019.

She is currently undergoing chemotherapy, living in Melbourne's outer west with her husband and young daughter, and owes the bank more than $400,000.The company said if it had known about her health situation at the time, it "might have looked at things differently". Ishaq also claims that the figures he'd been given by the previous operator were way off, and he was not making enough in sales to cover costs.He says he didn't get a written response, but did get a visit from a United manager."He had come inside the counter area, saying, 'I'm going to give you a breach. I will send you the first breach, and after three breaches you will be kicked out'.

After a tip-off from a driver, they tested the E10 fuel to see if it contained the advertised 10 per cent ethanol.United denied there was a problem, so Jigar went to The Australian newspaper, which ran a story.Then in July last year, as Melbourne's second lockdown was taking hold, the company increased Jigar and Jaydeep's rent by $150 a day.

I use this servo. Found the story peculiar. I sympathise but it does a roaring trade.

The brave new unregulated business world perpetrated and created by scotty and his acolytes

Buying any franchise is just a good way to pay a whole lot of money to someone for the pleasure of working for them for nothing.

Pie face pies are expensive and are not that nice. I tried them one and once was enough.

United: Allegations that employees... have been subject to systemic underpayment... are absolutely false Also United: Has no system to monitor whether staff are being paid correctly Also United: Terminates multiple franchisees for paying staff incorrectly

This new long form story format is awesome. Very engaging! Nice stuff!

Go back to the part where they admitted to underpaying staff?

United foreign owned and imports workers, sign here ie go back home contracts, this is a political problem that has arisen from corrupt politicians

Most expensive pies in Australia.. 😬. Why..? Are IndiaToday immigrants always, found, purchasing these failling outlets. 50 cents for sauce small blister squeeze, atop of $6.80 pie.? From obviously struggling , franchisee. Seven11Systems replay. Indian money, targeting. CNN

They lost half a million dollars. I hope the Fair Work Ombudsman take them to the cleaners. How many visa holders were owning or working at these places. There is no excuse for what they did

The UnitedPieFace service stations have by far the best of all $1 coffees if not anything else. abcnews auspol australiaallover australian GuardianAus radionational abcsydney

United. 'Take it or leave it approach'. Typical bully boy tactics. Don't go anywhere near any type of so-called franchise. Make you own business where you and you only are in control.
