Unions to seek hours cap, $500 minimum wage

Unions will commit to a goal of capping weekly hours at 48 a week and seek an increase in the federal minimum weekly wage to $500 and a rise in super contributions to 10%, under draft policies to go before the ACTU's triennial Congress later this month. They are also expected to approve a substantial increase in membership fees to fund organising and renewal.
