Low-paid workers to get pay increase

EDS: not for release before 0001 (AEDT) Saturday December 1

SYDNEY, Nov 30 AAP - In what is being hailed as an important step towards ending the discrepancies between men's and women's wages, 30,000 low-paid social workers will receive pay increases.

After a ruling from Fair Work Australia, the commonwealth, ACT and NSW governments have committed to funding the pay increase.

Extra funds from government will help make up the 18 per cent average gap between men's and women's wages, Australia Services Union NSW and ACT secretary Sally McManus said.

"Finally funding these increases shows that our governments are serious about equal pay for our workers," she said in a statement.

The increases for social, community and disability sector workers will begin on Saturday.

Ms McManus said the pay increases will make a huge difference in the lives of those who look after society's most vulnerable.

"They're the people who look after our homeless, who support people with disabilities and the people families in crisis turn to," she said.

"It's fantastic to see these workers finally getting the recognition they deserve."
