Ramblings of a Techie: "From January 1st, everyone is now under an award. Technicians, floor crew, musicians, strippers. Everyone.
Suddenly everyone working behind the scenes in entertainment is covered by a national minimum award wage system. The Fair Work Act provided simplified awards from January 1st 2010 to all workers including those not unionised."

Didn't immediately realize this was for Australia - thought IATSE had undergone some overnight change...
But i suppose this is good news for those living "down under". It sounds like everyone's going to be getting based on the same level of fair wages, so those who were getting paid scraps will now be getting paid based on their skill level, not just seniority.
And while this level system seems complex at first, it makes many IATSE local pay scales look even worse.
