Why it matters
The union's call targets practices such as abysmal salaries and poor treatment, particularly amid high unemployment. This pressure is part of broader union demands for the federal government to address the cost of living.
Union demands are part of a larger effort for the federal government to address the cost of living while the Ministry of Labour reviews relevant laws.
