Historic wage decision raises pay for millions in Australia
The Full Bench of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission in Melbourne approved a new total wage concept. About two million workers will get an extra 14 a week above the old basic rate, with 4 25 above in the ACT and 53-75 in NSW.
