Get behind the petition against Fair Pay Agreements and sign our open letter now!
The Fair Pay Agreements Bill is fundamentally flawed.
Your Work, Your Way is a campaign saying no to Fair Pay Agreements.
Why? Because despite their name, they simply aren’t fair. They create a one-size-fits-all model where decisions about your pay and working conditions are taken out of your hands.
We urge all Kiwis to join our campaign rejecting Fair Payment Agreements and calling for a smarter way of working.
Controlled by the few
The threshold for initiating a Fair Payment Agreement is 10% of workers or 1000 employees in the identified group, whichever is smaller.
Blanket coverage
Once a Fair Payment Agreement is agreed, all employers and employees across an entire industry or occupation will be locked into the conditions of that Fair Payment Agreement.
Loss of flexibility
Because of the one-size-fits-all nature of Fair Payment Agreements, it will be virtually impossible to negotiate flexible conditions with your employer.
We agree that the current system needs to improve. Higher wages come from improved productivity but Fair Payment Agreements won’t do anything to achieve that.
A far better option is to identify sectors facing wage challenges through a market test and if there is an issue in a particular sector then let’s fix that. We don’t need a one-size fits all, bureaucratic, sledgehammer of a solution across all sectors.
Here is our open letter rejecting Fair Payment Agreements and calling for a smarter way of working - Your Work, Your Way.
