Post workers gain rise
PA Wellington The award for about 10,500 New Zealand Post workers has been settled with a 7 per cent increase in wages, the “Evening Post” reports. The settlement also includes general approval to transfer previous Post Office conditions to the new corporation. The Post Office Union’s general secretary, Mr Ron Burgess, said yesterday the determination, reached after four days of negotiations with New
Zealand Post management, would apply from November 10. The decision was reached Thursday night, and would apply for the next 12 months, he said. The negotiation of transferring the conditions had been a “massive” task, and they were to apply in modified form from the previous Post Office agreement.
The union last week completed negotiations with Postßank which also resulted in a 7 per cent increase for its staff. Next week the union will negotiate the biggest of the determinations arising from the former Post Office structure — on behalf of Telecom’s 23,500 staff.
