- An Additional 5% pay increase in line with industry movements.
- Increases over the life of agreement in line with forecast CPI of:
- 2024: 4%
- 2025: 4%
- 2026: 3%
- 2027: 3%
Yes, the 4/3% is merely (hopefully) keeping up with CPI.
The one off pay rise should be greater and any chance of getting that will be completely off the table now. 13.36% will not happen either.
Why start with the lowest number from the get go? Isn’t that negotiation 101? 13.36% would be the lowest I’d accept after the past 15 years.
QF offered the standard 2 year pay freeze and then AFAP come back with 13.36%. So we’ll likely see 5, 10% at absolute best. A poor result in the current negotiation environment.
Maybe I’ll be proven wrong and the IR team will actually come to the table with good faith negotiations like they keep on saying. We shall see…
