Unions continue to play a critical role in the development of superannuation entitlements for all workers in Australia. Superannuation news helps to keep union members up to date with what is happening across the superannuation and financial planning industries and current union campaigns to achieve better super entitlements.

Important information that you should know about Superannuation:

Over twenty years ago unions won superannuation as a right for all Australian workers and set up Industry Super Funds to look after the retirement savings of their members. Today Industry Super Funds look after the needs of more than 4.7 million Australian workers.

The ACTU is campaigning for better retirement incomes through a lift in employer superannuation contributions from the current minimum of 9% — where it has been stuck since 2002 — to 12% by 2012. And then a further lift again to 15% by 2015.
