1,600 Ausgrid workers in Sydney and regional NSW, represented by the Electrical Trades Union (ETU), plan to strike due to the company's insufficient wage offer to match rising living costs.
Ausgrid workers in Sydney and regional NSW, represented by the Electrical Trades Union (ETU), are set to strike due to the company's refusal to offer a wage rise that keeps up with rising living costs. The industrial action, supported by up to 1,600 ETU members, may affect up to 2 million customers, causing inconveniences such as maintenance delays. The workers are seeking an annual pay raise of 8% to combat soaring living costs, while Ausgrid has proposed a 7% increase in the first year and 2.7% in subsequent years.
