The Electrical Trades Union estimates that Queensland apprentices could be owed as much as $A70 million in back pay. Its comments follow the full Federal Court’s decision to uphold a previous ruling by the Fair Work Commission that Queensland employers should have been paying apprentices under federal awards since the start of 2014, rather than under low-paying state awards.
