21 08 2009

The lowest paid workers in Queensland have won a $16.20 per week wage rise in a decision handed down
yesterday by the states IRC.

The case was initiated and supported by the AWU and the Queensland Council of Unions and said the decision was a fair outcome.

Chris Simpson AWU senior industrial advocate said “the commission’s decision is a good outcome for the AWU, its members and for working families across Queensland”.

Yesterday’s increase follows an increase from last year of $23.60 per week.
