E tū members at Radius, BUPA, and Summerset have voted to accept the new collective agreement recently negotiated with their employers.
The new collective agreement is also endorsed by NZNO members.
It delivers:
- pay rises to household staff,
- continues the focus on care staff moving up the scales,
- slowly, but steadily, improves pay and conditions.
As more New Zealanders come to understand the critical work aged care workers do, E tū will be pushing employers to continue to make improvements around training and safe staffing in the new year.
