I’m on an EBA which has just expired, which means my employer will spend the next year failing to negotiate, before eventually agreeing to 4% a year for the next three years, with maybe a $1000 one off payment which does not make up for the year without a payrise, and it will be reported in the media as a 12% payrise making everyone think that is an annual rate. Then I get to see people grumble about public servant fatcats wasting public money while actually getting less than average. It’s a great life as a wage earner, isn’t it?
