The AMWU and the Victorian labour hire group have reached an in-principle agreement that will deliver several thousand workers a 9% pay rise over two years and introduce a casual conversion clause. Deals in Victorian manufacturing, meanwhile, are being settled for between 3.5% and 4% a year.
Almost 700 Reserve Bank employees have won annual average pay rises of 3.83% a year with the potential for more from a 2% annual bonus pool and a "career increment" pool that has been set at about 1% for the first year, under a new agreement with the FSU.
