Cotton On Group will maintain paid tea breaks

Posted 23/3/15 Link:

In response to recent comments made by First Union NZ, the Cotton On Group would like to make it clear that no changes have been made to our workers' rights in any of our distribution centres. Negotiations are currently in place between the Cotton On Group and First Union with no agreement having yet been made.

The Cotton On Group is committed to having highly engaged staff and we have an effective two-way communication process in place, by way of implementation of our consultative committees which exist in each of our DCs globally, allowing each and every one of our people to have a voice.

To ensure we can maintain the integrity of the negotiation process we are committed to continue our conversations with First Union until an agreement is made. Our people and their working conditions have and always will be our top priority.

The Cotton On Group will, and has always intended to, maintain paid tea breaks for all New Zealand Distribution Centre employees as part of our commitment to the health and wellbeing of our team members.
