SDA officials and organisers came together this week at a national conference in Brisbane to discuss a number of key union issues, including triumphs and milestones which have been achieved in the 100% Pay at 18+ campaign.

Organisers from all over the country celebrated the recent news of the Fair Work Commission’s decision to amend the General Retail Industry Award to move 20 year olds to the full adult rate from 1 July this year.

Although the win was celebrated, talk quickly turned to future ideas and plans for the campaign, with all organisers and officials getting behind the campaign and showing full support for future activities.

Stay tuned for new plans and a really exciting time ahead – it’s clear that the national SDA organisers will continue to fight for equal pay for equal work, and won’t stop until junior rates are a thing of the past.
