The Victorian Labor Government is being played for a fool.
After striking an egregious 14% pay rise over three years with Metro Train workers (including a 3% sign-on bonus), which took the average salary of train driver to $143,600 (plus superannuation) and a ticket inspector or station officer to $98,797 (plus superannuation), Victoria’s public services union wants in on the pork, demanding a 20% pay rise over four years plus five weeks leave and automatic salary progression for its 30,000 public servants, according to The Age.
