ASU members have campaigned and won a 3.5% pay rise for almost 3 million workers.

It’s a huge win in the face of relentless campaigning from big business to limit pay increases to 2.5%. It’s down to union members that we have achieved an increase this year – we’re standing up for workers!

In a year marked by more financial uncertainty, price-gouging supermarkets and rising housing costs, this win showcases the power of unity. Already, union members stood together to win the cost-of-living tax cuts, which will deliver some much-needed relief from 1 July, along with this pay rise.
