A 5% rise in award and minimum wages is pretty modest and won’t set fire to inflation or cause interest rates to stay high
You're viewing a single thread.
The chamber of commerce and other employer groups never want minimum or award wages to rise by more than inflation. It is about time they were honest and admit they are arguing for the poorest workers in Australia to not just stay poor but become poorer.
Well that about sums it up the mentality of business groups.
Well they should've started a business if they didn't want to be poor! /s

I recall more than one year (every year?) where they asked for minimum wage increases that were less than inflation. They don't just want wages to stagnate, they want wages to decrease.
