Fresh public sector pay offer on the table from WA government in bid to end wage dispute
ABCThe WA government has been forced to make an improved wages offer for public sector workers for the third time in less than a year after intense pressure from unions. Key points: Lower-paid workers will benefit the most from the revised offer Unions rejected the last offer without taking it to members for a vote Public sector workers got a flat $1,000-a-year pay rise for four years The new offer would see those who earn less than $104,000 paid an extra $60 per week and receive a one-off $3,000 bonus. "Public sector workers and their unions have fought hard for better pay and conditions for public sector workers," he said. Rallies followed by revised offers For the first four years of the McGowan government, public sector workers were given a flat pay rise of $1,000 a year, to help repair the state's budget. "This policy is a long way from the flat $1,000 pay increases offered by the government last year, and unions continue to substantially increase the pay offered to public sector workers," Mr Whittle said.
