Stop the freeze - Union Rally Outside Parliament House - Australian Services Union NSW & ACT Branch

Deputy Secretary Judith Wright joined a union rally outside NSW Parliament House today after the NSW Government announced its cruel plan to cut the wages of 1 in 10 workers in NSW.

It was nurses, teachers, firies, transport workers, water workers and other public sector workers who kept us safe during this pandemic.

This decision is wrong, and will only lengthen our recession.

The reality is these cuts hurt everybody because they withdraw over $3 Billion in spending from local communities and small businesses.

The NSW Government is Australia's largest employer, and this ideological decision will hurt not just the 400,000 workers - but their families and their communities.

Today we joined the @HSUNSW, @nswnma, @TeachersFed, @psansw, @asu_nsw_act and dozens of unions representing nearly 400,000 workers to condemn that NSW Government's planned 1.5% wage cap. It pulls money out of the economy when our state needs stimulus. #cutshurteverybody pic.twitter.com/qxvhmDB4yi
