Analysis of data from the Fair Work Commission shows that workers received an average pay rise of four per cent in enterprise agreements that were lodged in the second half of 2023. ACTU secretary Sally McManus says stronger wage growth in enterprise agreements demonstrates the value of joining a union; however, she adds that more needs to be done to achieve real wage growth during the cost-of-living crisis. Meanwhile, the FWC has released a discussion paper on hybrid working arrangements and employees’ right to disconnect from their workplace outside of designated working hours.
