ACTU – Are you feeling the pinch of rising cost of living

Are you feeling the pinch of rising cost of living, with wages & pensions that just don’t keep up?

You are not alone.

Today we’ve released a report showing Australians are experiencing the largest fall in living standards in 30 years.

Can you help us launch our plan to tackle inequality by sharing this article on Facebook?

The report shows that the number of Australian billionaires has quadrupled over the past decade and Australian CEOs were paid more in the first five days of 2018 than an average worker earned the entire year.

The evidence of rising inequality is undeniable, yet the Morrison Government continue to deny it is even a problem.

Can you take action by sharing this with your friends and family?

If we don’t change course, Australia will go further down the road of entrenching Americanised working conditions: where dead-end jobs, long working hours, no holidays, zero job security and poverty pay levels become the norm.

But it doesn't have to be this way. Our plan to tackle inequality and raise the living standards of all Australians includes:

  • Restoring balance to workplace negotiations.
  • Investing in schools & hospitals
  • Raising Newstart
  • Creating secure jobs that people can count on
  • Curbing excessive corporate power
  • Ensuring big business & the very rich pay their fair share of tax
