Endeavour Energy workers step up industrial action

ETU < 1 mins read

MEDIA ALERT | Tuesday, 18 June 2024

Hundreds of NSW Electrical Trade Union members will rally outside Endeavour Energy’s Parramatta headquarters on Tuesday to demand a fair pay deal. 

Who: ETU members and ETU NSW/ACT Secretary Allen Hicks

When: 10.30am, Tuesday, 18 June 2024 

Where: 8 Parramatta Square, Parramatta 

Contact: Georgie Moore 0477 779 928

It follows 96% of members last month voting in favour of escalating protected industrial action until the electricity distributor comes to the table with an offer that keeps up with massive cost of living increases. 

ETU NSW/ACT Secretary Allen Hicks said: “Endeavour Energy is trying to dud essential workers out of a fair and reasonable pay rise. 

“The company’s insulting offer doesn’t come close to meeting the massive cost of living increases that workers have weathered in recent years.

“Endeavour Energy topped up key management pay by more than 12 per cent in 2023 alone, but is crying poor when it comes to paying workers what they’re worth.

“We’ll keep the pressure on for as long as it takes to get a fair wage increase for workers who deserve better.”

The Federal Government yesterday announced an expansion of its Cheaper Home Batteries program, which provides an upfront discount on eligible home battery systems to reduce installation costs for households and small businesses. Rewiring Australia CEO Francis Vierboom has welcomed the expansion while highlighting the need to ensure more households are able to participate as rebates reduce over coming years. “This announcement reflects the growing role household batteries play in an…

Sunny Day as Queensland’s Supercharged Solar for Renters Launched

A collection of social service, faith and environmental groups have welcomed the launch of the Queensland Government’s Supercharged Solar for Renters scheme.

This comes as recently released research from Monash University found that solar systems increase Brisbane property values by an average of $30,000. According to the groups, the Crisafulli Government now needs to expand support to…
