ABATTOIR OPERATORS FINED $115,000

A Federal Court judge has fined the former operators of the South Grafton abattoir more than $115,000 for denying 11 employees almost $60,000 in entitlements.
The abattoir’s former owner, Stuart Ramsey, was fined $19,200 and Ramsey Food Processing a further $96,000 for the breaches which took place in 2008.
In November last year the company closed down its South Grafton abattoir and moved its operation to the Northern Co-operative Meat Company at Casino.
