Australian unions want employers to increase superannuation contributions. On 1 February 2008, the ACTU will release a statement of its priorities for the year. It wants employer contributions to be lifted from nine per cent to 15 per cent. A precedent was set by Qantas Airways in late 2007, with an offer to increase contributions to 10 per cent. The ACTU also plans to focus on collective bargaining in low-paid industries.
