It's already extremely difficult to live on a digger's wage, and just about impossible to own a home and support a family on one. We have no job security and the pay's crap. The job requires a degree, so our pay should reflect that. Someone needs to force the units to bump our pay UP, not allow them to push us further towards the poorhouse.
Just because we enjoy what we do shouldn't give our employers free reign to treat us like some Victorian orphans.
