Unions are demanding an immediate end to the New South Wales government’s public sector wage cap after inflation rose to 5.1%, amid ongoing industrial action across multiple industries.
The head of the nursing union has also accused the government of attempting to “divide and conquer” unions after the NSW education minister, Sarah Mitchell, said teachers who planned to strike next week were being selfish for demanding a pay rise beyond what nurses have received – despite that sector also calling for a raise.
