NSW workers campaign for new public holiday in September

Workers in New South Wales are advocating for a new public holiday, proposing a “Family and Community Day” in September to address the state’s fewer public holidays compared to other Australian states. The Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA) is campaigning for this initiative, highlighting the long gap between current holidays and the potential economic benefits for local businesses. The push is part of a broader effort for fairer wages and improved working conditions amid rising living costs.
