Скачать или смотреть Petition delivery: Pay increase for essential workers

In this online event petition leaders Jake Benge and Jane Little 'hand over' their petition, signed by over 10,000 people, to MP Jan Logie, the Green Party's Workplace Relations spokesperson. An employee in a supermarket, Jackie, and First Union Retail, Finance and Commerce Division Secretary Tali Williams also speak.

During covid-19 essential workers have been on the front line of this pandemic, providing food, fuel, care, supplies and various other products and services.

All of us appreciate the people doing essential work at this time but what would really show our appreciation is ensuring those folks are paid a living wage. A living wage is the amount needed to provide workers with the necessities of life. While the current minimum wage is $18.90 an hour, the living wage is calculated at $21.15.
