27 Hunter Valley coal miners receive pay rise and permanent roles due to Same Job Same Pay laws.

27 Hunter Valley coal miners secure permanent roles and over $30k pay rise each, becoming first direct beneficiaries of Same Job Same Pay laws. Labour hire workers at Mount Pleasant coal mine near Muswellbrook were previously paid $30k less than permanent colleagues. The mining company, Thiess, agreed to directly employ the workers after the Mining and Energy Union applied for Same Job Same Pay to the Fair Work Commission.
