ASU flash mob Parliament in the name of Equal Pay

Workers danced for equal pay at State Parliament to implore the Victorian Government to stop the lip service and pay up! This week Fair Work Australia said 'YES' to Equal Pay. We've won the legal argument. We've won the moral argument BUT we still have to win the money!
FWA has NOT yet made an award for a pay increase
FWA has asked government to tell it what the increase would cost
The Baillieu Government must honour its election promise to fully fund equal pay for Victoria's community services workers after they back-flipped in March
We have to send a clear message to government and to employers -- we will accept nothing less than the same rates of pay as those who do the same job as us in the public sector

Rally for Equal Pay on June 8th
MELBOURNE: 11am
Trades Hall, Cnr Victoria & Lygon Sts Carlton South
HOBART: 12 midday - 15 Murray St

IT'S TIME TO FIGHT.

I am a social educator and I work very hard for very little despite having Academic Qualifications and a wealth of experience, and the point is this, if I cannot affoprd to survive on my pay I will be forced to look elsewhere for work and who will suffer? The clients I work with will suffer, I will tell you why, because quite simply you get what you pay for, if I pay you half a wage you will not work to the best of your ability will you? I wonder how the politicians would cope living on my wage?
