Stop the Drop in the Quality of Local Jobs and Services At Logan City Council!
We call upon Logan City Council to return to the bargaining table and commit to finalising a staff wage agreement that addresses the two-year pay freeze and rewards all staff fairly and without discrimination!
Why is this important?
• Logan is “...one of the state’s fastest growing communities…the state [has] used the city as the backdrop for announcing its $45 billion four-year infrastructure plans.”*
• Those at the pointy end of delivering the City’s successes continue to go unrecognised. Logan City Council staff have not had a pay rise since July 2016!
• In that time, all Executive Managers, Councillors and even the suspended Mayor have received annual pay increases.
• Council’s current staff pay offer fails to address this two-year pay freeze, and would see wages for the lowest-paid admin staff (who are mostly female) go backwards.
• Council staff are community members just like you. We are your librarians and your water & sewage workers. We fix your roads, maintain your parks and plan your new community facilities.
• If you agree that it’s not fair that those working hard to deliver major outcomes for our City have to suffer a wage freeze, sign our petition to support the hard-working Council staff who support your community!
