Myer cleaners 'ripped off' by Vic company

Cleaners at department store Myer have allegedly been underpaid thousands of dollars by a Melbourne cleaning contractor.

The Fair Work Ombudsman has begun legal action against Melbourne-based cleaning services company Pioneer Personnel, which provided cleaners for Myer stores in Melbourne, Hobart and on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.

The company's director, Aaron Leigh Dickinson, allegedly ripped off nine workers - including some migrant workers - to the tune of $18,000 between April and November 2014.
