Fast-food outlets to import overseas workers

June 24, 2008
FAST-food outlets in Queensland faced with labour shortages are turning to the controversial Section 457 visas to recruit overseas workers.

Both KFC and McDonald's have used the visas to combat a shortage of workers caused by the state's resources boom.

McDonald's Queensland regional manager Andrew Gregory said it was not by choice the food chain had recruited overseas to provide staff for outlets in Mackay and Mount Isa.
