Construction group Multiplex has reached a deal on a new enterprise agreement for its Western Australian workers who are members of the CFMEU. The new agreement includes a pay rise of 25 per cent over four years, comprising an immediate increase of 10 per cent and followed by three annual pay rises of five per cent. Zach Smith, the national secretary of the CFMEU’s construction division, rejects suggestions that the wage deal will be inflationary. Industrial action at Multiplex sites in WA that was scheduled for this week has been cancelled in the wake of the pay deal.
