“We ‘re ready to negotiate our own Whitireia collective

agreement.”TEU members at Whitireia and four other polytechnics have voted to negotiate separately so that we can have direct face-to-face conversations with our employer.

But instead, these employers are determined to stay together, even though they all say they want different things. They would rather keep ganging together as a power-bloc.

We want a collective agreement with our employer – Whitireia. We have voted overwhelmingly in favour of this but our employer is trying to ignore the collective wishes of his staff, and will use public money to fight a legal appeal to try to avoid negotiating directly with us.

Meanwhile, both time and public money is being wasted and there is no sign in sight of a collective agreement.

We are ready - we have a team of professional, democratic, local people just like you. We know what we want - a fair pay rise and no loss of working conditions. Let’s get moving on this for the good of our students, and for the good of education

We’re ready to go.
