Hospital award settled
PA Wellington Public hospital kitchen and cleaning staff have settled a 20.1 per cent pay rise with their employers, says the Hotel and Hospital Workers’ Union.
The agreement, which includes the 15.5 per cent State annual general wage adjustment, was reached in talks lasting 14 hours in Wellington on Monday. The union’s president, Mr
Tim Rochford, said it was reasonably pleased it bad maintained pay parity with State workers. • Labourers are expected to get back to their employers within three
weeks’ on a proposal that could bring a settlement of their pay talks. Union officials and employer representatives met for six hours in Wellington on Monday to sort out
differences over shift work which has delayed the settlement of the general labourers’ award.
The employers’ advocate, Mr John Button, said the two parties parted amicably but gave no details of the proposal. The secretary of the Labourers’ Union, Mr Charlie Clayton, said they had asked for an adjournment so the proposal could be referred to members.
