As reported by the Australian: “Hundred of Star City Casino workers gathered
on the steps of Sydney’s premier gambling venue today to call for better
pay. “Blowing whistles and yelling ‘decent wages, listen up’, the workers
called on the casino’s management to offer an increased pay deal to offset
rising petrol prices, interest rates and inflation. “Workers staged the
protests to coincide with their shifts, with more than 100 turning up at
each of the two morning rallies today. “The casino, in inner-city Pyrmont,
is currently negotiating an enterprise bargaining agreement with its 3000
employees. “Today it upped its offer by half a per cent to an 11 per cent
wage increase over three years.”
