A fast food employee is trapped on the camera that jumps into an overcrowded garbage bin in an attempt to compress the waste.
The images, posted on Tiktok, showed an employee in a hungry Jack's restaurant in Melbourne's CBD who stood knee-deep in a trash can while spoke with a colleague.
The bin staggered under his weight while trying to hit the waste.
He then hired himself from one bin in another while trying to maintain his balance to push the waste further.
Josh Cullinan, secretary of the Retail and Fast Food Workers Union told Daily Mail Australia that the behavior was 'unsafe and unlike everything that employees should do'.
'Unfortunately, this is a result of the value employers in the fast food and retail trade in employees.
'Instead of contracting extra waste removal capacity, employers will insist that employees literally use their bodies to compress waste and save a money.
'Hungry Jack's will undoubtedly blame the employees. They will claim that a policy is being violated. But Hungry Jack's encourages this by devaluing their employees and making winning first. '

Hungry Jack's told Daily Mail Australia that the employee had violated the company's waste process.
“We have strict processes to guarantee the safety and well -being of staff and customers,” said a spokesperson.
“This issue is now being investigated internally and the approved processes are strengthened.”
The manager of the location of Elizabeth Street said he had not seen the video, but added that the behavior surprised him.
Many Aussies unleashed the act of the employee.
“That's disgusting and I work in fast food.”
“I never thought I would really see anyone doing this,” added another.
A third said, “This is so wrong – it's a violation of health and safety.”
This is not the first time that the Melbourne Hungry Jack store is called up for Dodgy Behavior.

Last year, an outlet to the northeast of the CBD, in Preston, was fined $ 3,846 After the state's environment discovered that his employees had wrongly managed his waste fluids, allowing cooking oil to flow into rainwater drains.
The store also received an improvement message with regard to the same leak.
“Employees of Hungry Jack's Preston Restaurant observed a leak of a leaking waste oil collection tank and immediately conducted a clearance followed by further corrective action,” a hungry Jack's spokesperson told Nine News.
“Hungry Jack's traded in a responsible manner, which took extra precautions, including moving the waste oil collection tank in the restaurant, away from the drainage of rainwater.”
In the same announcement, EPA Victoria fines to individual Melbourne sales points from McDonalds and KFC for similar violations.
'Everyone has a duty to protect the environment. Oil and cooking waste do not belong in our drain networks, “said EPA West Metropolitan Regional Manager Steve Lansdell.
“Large fast food franchises must have controls and their staff must be trained to understand how to manage their waste.”
