Acceptance Likely as Unions Hint Agreement Near
The unions have not yet announced acceptance but seem certain to do so as the offer exceeds prior expectations. The pay rise follows a series of wage actions since May, with talks focusing on clerical and administrative staff in the third division and potential further requests. The Public Service Board reviewed rates, noting changes since 1970 and a shift in pay structure, while ACOA officials expressed mixed sentiment but anticipated acceptance. The development may trigger renewed demands for cost of living adjustments for all public servants, though post-September raises for higher grades temper the gap. The Australian Public Service dispute risks limited industrial action, with Cabinet already weighing annual leave and expense allowances.
