Collective Agreement Bargaining

2010

Hello TEU Members

Your negotiation team Phil Dodds (Advocate), David Ayre and Phil Dyhrberg met with the Polytechnic representatives Kay Chapman, Graham Bell and Donna Schofield on 1 and 2 June 2010.

The Employer claims consisted of:

Claim Status
  1. Term - One year term preferred on the basis of funding shortfalls in 2011
Under consideration

TEU claims consisted of:

  1. No Pass On
The employer agrees to comply with the legislation – this means that the employer cannot just directly pass on whatever is obtained through this bargaining process.
  1. Increase paid and printed rates by 2.3% wef 3 March 2010 and 2.3% 3 March 2011.
NMIT offered

1.5% wef 3 March 2010 and a further 0.5% wef 3 March 2010 if NMIT achieves a 3% surplus for the 2010 year. (Second part payable approx April 2011)

  1. Two year term expiring March 2012
  1. Increase mileage rates to $0.70per km
Agreed
  1. Change the salary that is used to calculate severance payment to be that of the substantive position in the event the employee has been on reduced proportion for the past 12 months
Under consideration
  1. Establish a working party on workload issues
Under consideration

Next date for negotiations

We will be meeting again with the employer representatives mid July as their lead advocate will be on leave. Whilst we had some initial feedback from members during a meeting on 2 June, we urge you to participate in the next meeting – date to be advised in mid July.

In any case, the salary offer is backdated to expiry of current agreement. The employer is still considering their response to our claims 5 and 6.

Thank you for your support to the TEU negotiating team. If you are unable to attend any scheduled meeting, please email any comments to the lead advocate – email below.

Tū Kotahi – Stand as One

On behalf of your bargaining team – David Ayre and myself
