Government moves to dramatically lift fines following months of industrial disputes with a range of public sector workers
The Nurses and Midwives Union will hold a stop-work meeting next Tuesday to decide whether to take further industrial action, after the government said it would also give health workers a one-off $3,000 “thank you payment” in addition to the 3% rise.
“It feels as though they’re really just trying to silence the workers who got up every day and worked during the pandemic, the ones politicians said thank you to every day,” she said. “We’re not averse to negotiating with the union movement, and in fact we want to reach outcomes with the union movement, but we want to do so against a background where those negotiations are being conducted where all the parties will have respect for the arbiter and the orders which the arbiter makes in respect of industrial action,” he said.
