RBA plans to put under-inflation pay offer to staff – urgent meeting

RBA management is refusing to protect employees from soaring inflation risks that have emerged due to global economic instability.

As part of our proposed new Enterprise Agreement, we now know management is preparing to formally offer their pay rise of just 9.5% over three years – 3.5% in 2026, 3% in 2027, and 3% in 2028.

With inflation now at 4.6% and predicted to worsen, RBA employees will be significantly worse off financially in three years’ time compared to today.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

Register for our important FSU meeting, where we will discuss what we can do to shift management’s position.

We’re entering a crucial phase of negotiations for our new Agreement, and our success will be determined by our ability to work together as RBA employees and show we are a united workforce. If you’re not already a member of our union, now is the time to join.
