How the SDA is fighting back against unfair performance management

The SDA has a proud record of wage growth at PRDC.

Strongly unionised sites have better conditions and are paid more.

Negotiating such outcomes are only possible through having good Union Membership on site. Congratulations to all SDA Members at Primary Connect in WA for their commitment and continued support of your Union. It is your Membership that has made this a reality.
