Governor Philip Lowe: put your money where the money is! Pay Note Printers Fairly!
This campaign has ended.
Reserve Bank of Australia governor Philip Lowe issued a challenge to workers that they should demand a greater share of the economy's profits to drive up record-low wages growth. He advocated workers asking for a 3.5% increase
"At some point, one imagines that's going to lead to workers being prepared to ask for larger wage rises." he said.
Well, now his own workers at Note Printing Australia (a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank) have done just that. These workers literally print Australia's money.
Except he's only offering 2% and refusing to meet with workers....
Tell Phillip Lowe and the Board of the Reserve Bank: Stop Being Hypocrites! Time to Put your money where the money is!

Why is this important?
It's not enough for CEOs and people like the Reserve Bank Governor to say that wage rises are important for our economy - they need to put their money where their mouths are.
Workers at Note Printing Australia work hard, and are extremely skilled. As well as printing Australia's complex, anti-forgery bank notes they also print the notes of up to 100 other countries.
They also print our passports!
All workers are asking for is:
- A fair pay increase (currently they are offered less than inflation)
- An update to their classifications,
- domestic violence leave , and
- to offer pathways to permanency for long-term casuals.
Support the workers: tell the Reserve Bank to PAY UP!
