NSNZ has just completed a two-day bargaining round with Te Whatu Ora / Health New Zealand.
Nurses Society director David Wills who led the NSNZ bargaining team says "good progress has been made" and a further bargaining round is set for early next month.
There has been agreement in principle on a number of points and in the next round more substantive matters are expected to be dealt with.
“Hopefully at that point we will have something to recommend to members soon.”
The Society gave formal notice to Te Whatu Ora / Health New Zealand for a collective agreement in early November last year. A series of pre-bargaining meetings followed with Te Whatu Ora / Health New Zealand, plus some related meetings.
Note: All collective bargaining by the Society is done through our union arm Te Uniana o NSNZ - the Union of the Nurses Society of New Zealand.
