This chart shows real wages are way behind because: sub-poverty increases in the pandemic and inflation. 3.5% doesn't fix the gap. #ACTU, #ALP, #SDA officers any who earn far higher than minimum wage tell us the increase is 'great' - really ? #FightBackWithRAFFWU
We disagree with the editorial of the Australia Institute that the increase is “appropriate.” It is not. It keeps millions of workers in poverty.

#Coles and #Woolworths exercise gross and disproportionate power against consumers, farmers and workers. #RAFFWU members have stood together and, for the first time ever at the supermarkets, taken strike action in pursuing living wages, safer workplaces and secure jobs.
In this critical #FourCorners analysis, hear from RAFFWU #union member Ana what it is like working in a dark store.
#FightForALivingWage #FightBackWithRAFFWU #SuperStrike
#RAFFWU members at #Coles #BanksiaGrove went on #strike yesterday to demand a #livingwage of $29 per hour, #securejobs, and #safeworkplaces.

#RAFFWU members at #Woolworths #BrokenHill walked out on #strike Most of the store walked out leaving online ordering shut down, and the store largely operated by #scabs flown in by Woolworths from #Adelaide and #sydney
#Union Members are outraged that Woolworths would rather spend a fortune on the flights and accommodation for strike-breakers than return the conditions stripped from Broken Hill workers.

Workers at #Jaycar are getting organised in #RAFFWU for enterprise bargaining. A fair deal means living wages and safety at work - including seats at work stations.
