ABC staff offered better pay deal after strike
ABC management has made an improved pay offer to its staff, following last week’s strike action.
The new offer includes a 10.5% pay increase over three years — 4% in the first year, backdated to October 2025, followed by 3.25% in subsequent years — and improved pay-band progression pathways.
The Media Entertainment & Arts Alliance’s (MEAA) chief executive Erin Madeley called this a “significant improvement” on the initial offer, despite being just 0.5% higher in financial terms than the deal they rejected.
Pssttttt.
A 4% in the first year, 3.25% in the second year, and 3.25% in the third year actually produces a 10.87% accumulated rate … a meagre but worth an improvement. However, Trump’s egomania will bugger the lot up.
