📋 Fair Pay Agreements (sectoral bargaining)

← All policies

A Fair Pay Agreement sets minimum pay and conditions for everyone working in a whole industry or occupation (e.g. all bus drivers, or all supermarket workers), negotiated between unions and employers and then applied to that entire sector - not just one workplace at a time, which is how most collective bargaining in New Zealand otherwise works.
