Up to 70 Lyndoch Living employees walked off the job last Wednesday but management says services will continue without major impacts. The two-hour strike comes as the Health Workers Union says the aged care organisation’s carers, kitchen helpers and receptionists receive the lowest award wage in the country. The workers are pushing for at least a 14 per cent pay rise over four years. Health Minister Jill Hennessy said the negotiation break-down was a “concern”.
