UNION WIN!!!
Thanks to union members, Australia's minimum and award wage workers are set to get a 4.75% pay rise from 1 July!
The wage claim affects nearly 3 million workers whose pay is set by awards, but also benefits all working Australians by setting a minimum wage floor across the entire wages system 👏
This lifts the lowest rate of pay for ongoing work from $24.95 per hour to $26.44, or a $56 a week increase for a full-time worker.
