But when you dictate that 10% of a workforce can force the other 90% into an agreement then that is just plain wrong. How can the same business with 10 people in Invercargill be expected to pay the same wage as one with 100 in Auckland? That is the situation being set up.
that is not the case. If you read the details you will see that the 10% is the number of workers needed to start the bargaining process - the negotiated settlement must then be voted on and ratified by all members covered by the agreement, not just the 10%...
and as far as the geographical issues are concerned, the bargaining agreement is setting *minimum* conditions, employers will still be able to pay over and above to attract workers to Auckland...
This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.
