Unions urge incoming premier Chris Minns to overhaul working conditions for frontline workers
With some of the largest unions in NSW – including the HSU, the Nurses and Midwives’ Association and the Public Sector Association – due to begin negotiation on new pay deals this July, the pressure to deliver on those promises will begin quickly.Stewart Little, the secretary of the PSA, said his union would “absolutely” be pushing the new government to lift wages beyond the 3.
“But there is also no question our members will be seeking a fair wage rise. It won’t be anything like current inflation but I expect anything less than the realm of upwards of about 4% would be met with concerted opposition from the trade union movement.” “They’ve made a number of undertakings on delivering for our teachers, nurses and paramedics around staffing levels, and we want to see the plan on how they’re going to deliver on those,” he said.
