The terms and conditions of your pay are set by your Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA). An EBA determines everything from your pay to leave entitlements and is negotiated every few years by union members.
The more union members we have, the stronger we are at the bargaining table. Sometimes we have to take industrial action to secure fair pay rises and terms. If we weren’t union, the EBA might be weak on workers’ rights or not exist at all! This could mean deferring to the Award, which outlines the bare minimum that bosses need to pay you.
Please note: These figures are for use as a guide only. This tool does not account for tax, leave loading and other factors that will determine take-home pay increases.
