Press Release: Disability Workers to March in Support of Equal Pay

Health and Community Services Union members working in the non-government disability sector, along with a range of other unions, will march in support of Equal Pay at State Library tomorrow. The rally is in response to the Federal Government’s submission to the Equal Pay Case being heard by Fair Work Australia, which stipulates that any pay increases for disability workers should be assessed against the budget.

"The Federal Government’s submission is a concerning development. It relegates workers’ rights to equal pay for work of equal value to second place against budget implications," said HACSU State Secretary Lloyd Williams.
