A win for Kmart workers, whose union says it's secured an industry-leading deal. Worker First Union says it's ratified a two-year pay deal matching the minimum living wage - and rising alongside its increase next year. Deputy Secretary of Retail at Workers First Union, Rudd Hughes, says this deal is a 'gold standard' for retail workers - and he hopes other retailers can follow suit. "It's not that they can't afford not to do it, we've asked for the details of their finances and they've refused to give them to us. The Norman family themselves, since 2017, have gone from $500 million net worth to over $1 billion. The workers certainly haven't had that kind of increase in their wages."
