Paykel Healthcare workers fail to reach agreement in
mediation
Nearly 900 Fisher and Paykel Healthcare workers still face the prospect of taking industrial action next week at the company’s Highbrook plant following the failure to reach a new collective agreement in mediation.
F & P Healthcare production, maintenance and distribution workers, who are organised by the EPMU and NDU, have lodged a strike notice to take effect on Wednesday 21 September. The parties were unable to agree on a new agreement at an all-day mediation hearing yesterday.
EPMU Director of Organising, Rachel Mackintosh, says the Unions are still open to negotiating a fair and reasonable settlement with management that would avert the strike action.
