Prices are rising, wages must rise too – We need a 5% pay rise now!
We call on the Fair Work Commission to deliver a 5% pay rise in this year’s Annual Wage Review so workers on Awards and the Minimum Wage can keep up with the real cost of living.
Right now, wages are not keeping up with soaring fuel costs, rents, and groceries. A 5% pay increase would help ensure the lowest-paid workers can make ends meet.
2.6 million workers are relying on it.
Add your name to back a 5% pay rise that keeps workers afloat.
Why is this important?
We all deserve a good life – a roof over our head, food on the table, fuel in our cars, and the security of knowing our pay will cover the basics.
But for too many of us, that’s no longer the reality.
Instead of relief, we are being squeezed from every direction.
The Reserve Bank keeps raising interest rates, fuel prices are soaring, and big business is pocketing millions – while we are told to tighten our belts.
Workers didn’t cause the cost-of-living crisis – but we’re being asked to pay for it.
In the ASU’s Wages and Cost of Living Survey, almost 80% of workers surveyed have gone without meals because they couldn’t afford it. This is not ok.
Wages aren’t keeping up while corporate profits keep climbing.
When rent jumps, when groceries soar, when bills skyrocket – there’s only one solution that works: a real pay rise.
And pay rises don’t happen by accident. They happen when we come together and demand better. Pay rises start with us.
That’s why ASU members are campaigning for a 5% pay rise in this year’s Annual Wage Review – a rise that reflects the real cost of living and doesn’t leave workers behind.
