It's time for a 5% pay rise - workers are feeling the squeeze!
ASU members campaigned and won a 3.75% pay rise for almost 3 million workers.
On 3 June 2024, the Fair Work Commission announced a 3.75% increase in Modern Award Rates and an 3.75% boost to the National Minimum Wage, effective from 1 July 2024.
This is a huge win in the face of relentless campaigning from big business to limit pay increases to 2%. It’s down to union members that we have achieved an increase this year – we're standing up for workers!
