Union members win pay rise
Date: 15/06/2022
BREAKING: ASU members win 4.6 - 5.2%% wage increase in the National Wage Case!
Australian Services Union members have
campaigned for a meaningful pay rise through the National Wage Case, and today
we won!
The Fair Work Commission has just handed
down the Annual Wage Review Decision.
Over 2.7 million workers are set to get a 4.6 - 5.2% pay rise after a
well fought campaign by union members.
This win by union members is a clear example
of how important it is to stand to together to campaign for better pay and
conditions in your workplace.
Congratulations! ASU members should be proud for campaigning and winning a pay rise – thank you for your support.
What ASU members need to know:
-
The national minimum wage has been increased to $21.38 per hour or $812.60 per week.
- Modern awards are set to increase by 4.6 as of 1 July 2022.
- Some awards including workers covered by the airlines and hospitality
awards will have their increase delayed until October 2022.
- If you are employed on an enterprise bargaining agreement, you won’t
receive a pay increase unless your base rate of pay falls below the minimum
award rate for your classification. This is your rate of pay without separate
amounts like shift rates or overtime.
As your union, our work continues – we need to ensure that
employers pass on this wage increase to their workers on 1 July.
Your employer will be reviewing your
current rates against the Award minimums over the coming weeks. The ASU will be
working with our members to ensure everyone is paid what they are owed.
