The GWU said this evening it was pleased that many of its proposals were included in the Budget.
It welcomed measures against precarious work and measures to boost the economy and create jobs.
Also welcome were the measures for persons with disability.
The GWU said it was pleased to note that despite the 58c cost of living increase, the government was taking measures to help the vulnerable sections of society.
It also welcomed the fact that the government deficit would fall to 1.6%; that the process of power tariff reductions would continue and measures would be taken to tackle those who abused of social benefits.
