Third time's a charm? WA Government put forward new pay rise offer for public sector workers, following union pressure

View descriptionShare

Public sector workers earning less than $104,000 will be offered a $3120 increase in their salary each year, over the next two years, as well as a $3000 one-off bonus.

Workers earning more than $104,000 will receive the bonus as well as a 3 per cent yearly increase over the next two years.

Unions WA Secretary, Owen Whittle who joined Oly Peterson on Perth Live says workers certainly welcome the move which is significantly better than previous offers, but will have to look closely and consider whether it's enough.

"They're looking for an offer that values their work, values their skills, and values the fact that they've kept the state running during the pandemic."
