Cheering for pay rises 🙌💰

From 1 July, millions of workers will receive a 4.75% pay rise, including many SDA members.

This pay rise didn't fall from the sky. It was fought for and won by union members — despite employer groups pushing for a below inflation increase that would have left workers even further behind. ✊

This is a win for working people and a step toward easing cost of living pressures 💪✨

Rising housing costs are hitting hard.

More and more workers can’t afford to live where they work — and the pressure to keep up is real.

That’s why we’re doing something about it. ✊

Just like SDA member Sharon who is using her voice and supporting our call on the NSW Government to deliver more social and affordable housing now!

Your voice matters too.

Workers at EG Fuel deserve better. This offer isn’t it – vote NO this week.

Earlier this year, workers at EG Fuel sites voted against this multi-billion-dollar international company’s subpar EBA offer.

4 months later, they’re putting another offer to a vote of workers this week – which still offers no real wage increases or guaranteed improvements.

NSW Police Force were at Erina Fair today conducting proactive knife-wanding checks as part of Operation Percentile.

This important, ongoing work—driven by SDA advocacy—plays a key role in preventing violence and abuse before it happens, helping keep both workers and shoppers safe. 🙌

Thank you to Minister Yasmin Catley MP and Minister Sophie Cotsis for their tireless advocacy and work to make retail and fast-food workplaces safer from abuse and violence.

ICYMI: Last week, the Fair Work Commission announced a 4.75% wage increase from 1 July! 🙌

This decision helps move wages in the right direction, putting more money in workers’ pockets.

It’s also 1.25% higher than what big business lobbyists were pushing for.

Without unions standing up and fighting for a fair outcome, workers could once again have ended up with far less. ✊

Did you know penalty rates were won through union action? ✊

It’s a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we stand together.

To everyone working today, thank you! You deserve your penalty rates! 🙌

Can you believe it’s been two years since we first took our fight to abolish junior rates for workers 18+ to the Fair Work Commission?

What an incredible win for young workers, who shared their passion, experiences and voices to achieve this historic change! 🙌

If you’re heading out shopping this long weekend, don’t leave your manners at home!

There’s no place for customer abuse or violence in retail or fast food.

Stronger criminal penalties now apply in NSW for anyone who assaults retail workers, with offences carrying up to 11 years in jail.

So, whether you’re travelling, stocking up on groceries for the week, or enjoying a little retail therapy - remember, no one deserves a serve! 🛍️🙌

Workers at EG Fuel deserve better pay and working conditions.

Vote NO to send this profitable multinational business a clear message - EG Fuel can afford and should provide workers a better deal.
