CANBERRA, May 7 (Xinhua) Australia s top union secretary has warned employers of a concerted push for pay rises if the recovering economy avoids more lockdowns in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Sally McManus, secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), recently declared that Australian workers have a strong appetite for wage increases.
She said employees accepted pay freezes in 2020 amid the pandemic but there would be a lot of pent-up demand for wages increases come the end of the year as Australia s economic recovery continues. People won t accept an ongoing situation of wage suppression where they can see that employers and the big companies of Australia are doing fine. There will be an appetite to address that, said McManus, according to News Corp Australia on Friday.
