Fairness at Work Day of Action



 

Quality Care for older New Zealanders


Fair Share for Aged Care

Fair Share for Aged Care is an exciting campaign run jointly by the New Zealand Nurses Organisation and Service and Food Workers Union: Nga Ringa Tota.

It's a campaign to win fair pay and decent conditions in aged care through collective bargaining. To do that we need to increase the number of union members. When we have strength of numbers, we have a strong collective voice.

We need lots more workers in aged care to join the union to be successful.

Background

NZNO, together with the SFWU has been campaigning for a Fair Share for Aged Care for a number of years.

The campaign's goal was to win increased government funding for the aged care sector in Budget 2005.

We campaigned for increased funding targeted to:

  • Fairpay for caregivers, nurses and support workers in aged care
  • Safe staffing levels
  • More training opportunties and recognition of training in improved pay
