Back to EpisodesSA Workers Get Adult Wages, Businesses Worry
Description
A significant shift is underway in South Australia as the Fair Work Commission rules to double the wages for eighteen to twenty-year-olds in fast food, retail, and pharmacy jobs. This change, set to begin in December and fully implemented by 2029, will impact around fifteen thousand workers. The decision, driven by the states largest union, has sparked concerns from small businesses grappling with rising costs and potential job market shifts. However, union representatives argue for fair pay and job security. This development is closely watched, as it could reshape entry-level employment in these sectors.
