The puns with this dispute are hilarious but the issue is not. There is no reason why Tassie workers should be getting ripped off with 21% less in their pay than their mainland counterparts. We’re backing in the members at Saputo in Burnie as they fight for mainland pay parity.

The choice seems very clear.

AMWU members in Tasmania are standing against Saputo Dairy over wage disparities at the Burnie site. Workers are cheesed off because they're paid 21% less than their mainland colleagues. We are calling for equal pay across the sector! The Hobart Mercury Tasmanian Times Unions Tasmania

The Net Zero Economy Authority will put workers and communities at the heart of the energy transition.

Greedy move by business lobby groups wanting minimum wage increase to be discounted for rent and energy support. Their argument is that the budget cost-of-living relief should go into the pockets of business, not low paid workers #insiders

The bosses representatives want to take the cost of living relief provided in the budget off Australia’s lowest paid workers.

A morally vacant cash grab
