ETU power workers rally at Ausgrid's Wallsend depot for better pay due to stalled enterprise agreement negotiations.

Power workers associated with the Electrical Trades Union (ETU) rallied at Ausgrid's Wallsend depot over stalled enterprise agreement negotiations. They demand fair pay to address rising living costs, claiming their real wages have dropped nearly 10% recently. Ausgrid has proposed a three-year deal featuring a 7% pay increase in the first year and CPI adjustments thereafter. The union warns that insufficient offers may drive workers to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
