About one hundred and fifty thousand people are expected to flood Melbourne`s CBD, on Tuesday demanding higher wages to keep pace with the cost of living.
In the run-up to Victoria and federal elections, Australia`s general union (ACTU) `s change rule movement is accelerating.
A similar protest in May caused a massive traffic outage. When more than one hundred thousand workers took to the streets, roads were closed and trams delayed.
The parade will begin at 10:30 on Tuesday at Trades Hall in Lygon Street and then follow Russell Street to La.
Trobe Street, then arrives at Swanston Street,, and ends at 12:30 in the afternoon at Federation Square.
The campaign aims to "win a fairer share of the working population" and provide a blueprint to provide stable jobs and wage increases for workers. It claims that Australia`s minimum wage can no longer lift people out of poverty.
On Tuesday, protest parade, will be held across Australia on the same theme, including Sydney, Gladstone, Keynes, Mackay, Darwin, and will be held in Hobart, Brisbane, Bendigo and Canberra in a few days.
McManas (Sally McManus), secretary of the ACTU, said the working people demanded the change rules.
"the aim of this political protest campaign is to get Morrison and federal politicians to listen-our wages are going backwards, our families are struggling, too many people are trapped in unstable jobs," McManas said.
"We need to restore the balance of the system so that workers can get a fair pay rise. Profits are up, CEO bonuses are up, only our salaries haven`t risen. "
Federal work and labor relations minister Ordwell (Kelly O`Dwyer) said the parade gave a glimpse of "what will happen throughout Australia after Schotton takes office."
"Australians do not want to return to the workplace conflicts of the last century."
Andrews government supports the right of all workers to take to the streets of parade in support of a fairer wage for Victorians, a spokesman for the state`s government said.
"every worker deserves a fair day`s pay." He said。
