flag Australia’s unions seek a 5% wage rise to combat inflation, pushing hourly pay to $26.19.

flag The Australian Council of Trade Unions is seeking a 5% minimum wage increase, raising it from $24.95 to $26.19 an hour, to help low-income workers cope with inflation outpacing wage growth. flag The proposed rise, which would add about $2,465 annually to full-time pay, comes amid rising housing, energy, and fuel costs. flag ACTU says the increase would add only 0.6% to the national wage bill and won’t fuel inflation, despite employer concerns. flag The claim will be submitted to the Fair Work Commission, with potential adjustments based on upcoming economic data.
