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.”

Friday, December 6 A political hearing in Muswellbrook next week will hear from Hunter Valley locals on their opposition to building nuclear reactors in the region.

The seven ways the Federal Coalition could cook the books on nuclear costings

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE5 DECEMBER 2024 AUSTRALIANS ARE BEING KEPT IN THE DARKabout the true costs of the Federal Coalition’s risky and expensive nuclear scheme.

Climate Councillor and economistNicki Hutley said: “The Federal Coalition's nuclear scheme would cost Australians a bomb. It’s a risky, expensive fantasy that would see Australians paying more than $100 billion…
