据外媒报道，澳大利亚最大的家禽供应商之一百亚达公司（Baiada）被爆克扣华人员工（大量来自大陆和台湾）工资，已答应拿出50万澳元，补发所有少发的薪水。调查发现一些从中国大陆和台湾来的员工每日工作达19个小时，却只获得11.5澳元的廉价时薪。
据报道，百亚达公司是Woolworths和Coles两家大型超市的最大鸡肉供应商之一。在经调查发现该公司的承包商严重剥削员工，他们每日工作19个小时，但得到的工资仅是澳大利亚最低时薪的一半。目前百亚达公司已拿出50万澳元处理此问题。
部分原文报道如下：
ONE of Australia's largest suppliers of chickens to supermarket giants including Coles and Woolworths has set aside $500,000 for workers after investigations revealed some contract staff were doing shifts of up to 19 hours on half the minimum wage.
Baiada, parent company of Steggles and Lilydale Free Range Chicken, has been forced to enter a three-year “proactive compliance deed” to stamp out further unlawful practices at its worksites throughout NSW.
A NSW Fair Work Ombudsman investigation earlier this year found widespread exploitation of staff and failure to comply with workplace laws.
