00:00Hundreds gathered, united by one cause.
00:06Who's state?
00:07Our state!
00:08Who's state?
00:09Our state!
00:10From health care to child protection, workers across WA's public sector fighting for better
00:16pay, dignity and respect.
00:19Workers say colleagues are leaving their sectors in droves and new employees don't last very
00:24long.
00:25We are here trying to get our wages met to the increase of cost of living.
00:30Show some respect and share the wealth of the country, share the budget surpluses, share
00:35it amongst the people.
00:37Multiple public sector unions want a 7% pay rise in the first year and 5% in the second.
00:43Increases the state government is calling unrealistic, offering between 3 and 5% depending
00:49on the industry.
00:51We urge them to negotiate in good faith.
00:54We have fair offers on the table.
00:57If you don't have a fair outcome and if you blow the budget, that means job cuts into
01:02the future.
01:03But unions WA say it won't stop pushing for higher wages.
01:07That's a threat that every single employer rolls out and every single bargaining that
01:10we see every single year.
01:12That's classic employer behaviour and a classic employer line.
01:15A warning of potential action to come.
