Unite Union will be launching its campaign for a Fair Pay Agreement for hospitality workers at the conclusion of its AGM and Conference over Tuesday/Wednesday this week.
“We hear constantly about how there is a labour shortage in hospo, just yesterday in fact, but what the industry needs to do to attract workers is lift wages and conditions” says John Crocker, National Secretary “The industry has had forever to do this, and it simply hasn’t. Establishing a Fair Pay Agreement for hospo workers is the single biggest thing we can do to make improvements”
“On Wednesday afternoon we will have guest speakers including MP’s Helen White and Jan Logie, Richard Wagstaff CTU President, and Dr David Williamson from AUT. But we will also be hearing from the workers themselves, telling their stories, some of them pretty bleak, about what it’s really like to work in hospo in NZ.”
Unite Union hospitality members will be signing the first of thousands of forms needed to initiate bargaining under the new FPA legislation.
Venue: Sorrento in the Park, 670 Manukau Road, Royal Oak, Auckland
Time: 1:30-4pm
Media welcome
