The Government's intention to cut the wages of 1.6 million award workers has been revealed in an announcement today that there will be a six month wage freeze in the transition to a new minimum wages system.
Condemning the six month wage freeze for the low-paid, ACTU Secretary Greg Combet said:
"A newspaper report today confirms Employment Minister Kevin Andrews is planning a six month wage freeze for 1.6 million award workers.
This wage freeze reveals the Government's hand. The Howard Government's sole reason for changing the way minimum wages are set is to make them lower.
