Union leader Sally McManus has warned business groups against advocating for workers to take effective pay cuts after the Australian Industry Group called for no increase to the minimum wage amid the coronavirus pandemic recovery.
With the government calling a ceasefire on the last seven years of hostilities with the union movement as it attempts to reform Australia’s industrial relations regime, the issue of wages has opened up as the first challenge.
The Ai Group, in a supplementary submission to the annual wage review, argued against a wage increase for workers, claiming the economic conditions made it untenable.
