PN IPS Members fight to restore wages and conditions
Salaried RTBU Members at Pacific National Service Delivery are in the fight of their life to restore Industry standard Wages and Conditions to their Workplace. From 2015 onwards Pacific National went through various restructures within Planning and Service Delivery which resulted in staff being separated from their various Enterprise Agreements and put on individual contracts. During these years staff saw their wages fall steadily against Industry Standards and their competitors. Last year people had finally had enough and voted overwhelmingly through a majority support determination to bargain collectively.

Despite Pacific National fighting tooth and nail the RTBU has been negotiating a Collective Union Agreement for the last 14 months. Staff have done a magnificent job organising themselves, membership has soared from under 20 to over 100 and we have eight amazing RTBU Delegates (pictured) Recently RTBU members endorsed a campaign of Protected Industrial Action culminating in a 72 hour stoppage – staring down threats and typical PN Bully Boy tactics. They have the entire RTBU behind them.
