The union movement will seek a new deal on wages for millions of workers at next week’s jobs and skills summit with a bold plan to allow entire industries to negotiate the same pay and conditions despite business fears about the cost of the change.

The ACTU’s new plan makes it clear to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the political and business leaders at next week’s summit that any discussion on migration must accept that lifting wages is the priority if Australia is to fill the labour shortages.

“Now, productivity isn’t about working harder for less. It’s about working smarter, adding better value, all of those things. “So I don’t think it’s at all surprising that your average person is saying: ‘hang on a minute, the priority has got to be to get wages moving’. McManus is seeking to build on those talks at the jobs and skills summit by making a renewed attempt to overhaul the enterprise bargaining rules so unions could negotiate pay and conditions across industries with small employers.

Can't afford it says business 😂👇 auspol

Business has had it good for decades, it's time to pay up now.

'millions'? 14% of employees (1.4 million) were trade union members (ABS)

Industry-wide power grab by unions. A bid to get the dead hand of unions back into peoples’ pay packets. This is about unions restocking their ranks on the bended backs of working ppl they only purport to represent. I remember closed shops workplaces, nothing in it for workers.

How about you do a story about the HR Nicholls society. You can interview your boss. For those playing at home…

Where would Australia be without the Unions?
