wa public sector workers need 5 to survive!

tell the wa state government: public sector workers need a pay rise!

WA health and education workers are some of the lowest paid workers in our state.

These workers, our hospital cleaners, enrolled nurses, education assistants and orderlies, to name a few, continue to work on the frontline of the Covid-19 pandemic, keeping our hospitals and schools open and functioning.

By turning up to their workplaces, these frontline workers have kept Western Australia safe and strong!

Yet, despite their incredible efforts, these workers are being left behind. Some are working two jobs. Living pay to pay. Struggling to pay their rent. We depend on these people to care for our sick and elderly, keep our hospitals clean and functioning, teach our kids and expect them take on more and more work to support our community. Critically, their indisputable value isn’t reflected in how our state’s Government pays them.

These hard working frontline workers deserve more! 10 bucks a day isn’t much to pay!

Time is up, Mark McGowan – public sector workers need 5 to survive!

Workers won’t give up until wages keep up with the increasing cost of living!
