Despite both trading well, the contrast between two major retail chains who have announced profits this week is significant when it comes to how their workforce is treated.
A union representing many low paid workers, especially in the retail sector, has described this week’s 50 cent increase in the minimum wage to $13.50 as “pathetic”.
Starting in May this year, there will be FIRST Union meetings in each Warehouse store to discuss the recommendations of the remuneration working group on new pay steps, and claims for our new Collective Agreement.
