....APEX Southland MIT delegate Shahn Smith said the removal of backpay and
higher wages for more advanced positions were the two issues that were
not resolved in last round of negotiations.

stressful job than someone working on X-rays and under negotiations they
are not being rewarded for the larger workload, Smith said....
It seems that Tim Keogh has made the rounds of fall the DHB's and local governments in NZ to peddle his message - but its not without a few questions being asked by those who eventually have to pay.

ReplyDeleteDHB aims for better apologies
ReplyDeleteWhile on about the DHB and its woes, an article in the ODT today (30-10-19) says that the DHB will replace its coal burning plant with a wood burning one because, it is claimed to be 'carbon neutral'. Well it is NOT carbon neutral.
ReplyDeleteHere's why.
Burning wood is NOT carbon neutral
It is unbelievable that such highly trained and dedicated people, essential to the health and well being of our community are treated so shabbily. Shame
