Salary increases for AIMA management should be matched by increases for technicians

The Migration Technicians Union (STM) is calling for a salary increase for AIMA's technical staff, following a government decision published on 2 November that raised the pay scale for the agency's leadership. The union argues that the same rationale used to justify higher management pay—the complexity and specific mission of AIMA—should apply to the staff performing the day-to-day work, especially given the agency's ongoing resource shortages and procedural delays.
