This recession was the only recession in Australian history were profits went up.
They went up 15%.
Billionaires don’t spend profits, but workers spend pay rises.
Our communities need a pay rise to help us recover from drought, floods, fire and the pandemic.
If you agree join your union. We’re calling for a 3.5% increase to the minimum wage.
That’s an extra $25 a week for millions of Australians to spend in our local communities.
The FWC is looking at delaying pay rises for 2.2M Aussies on min wage for a 2nd consecutive year. This is a terrible idea.These workers’ pay goes straight back into the economy.Delaying a pay rise when cost of living is increasing is essential a paycut and will hurt the economy.
