After winning an end to youth rates at the country's Postie Plus shops the union has now negotiated a national collective agreement for all Postie group members.
Southern Regional Secretary and advocate Paul Watson said the national agreement is a platform for future bargaining in the Postie Plus, Baby City and Arbuckles stores.
"The company is engaging constructively but we still have more to achieve. Youth rates have gone and the new pay and progression bands lift pay by $1.00 - $2.00 per hour for members at the lower end of the scale. But those members on higher rates were offered only 3.5% on their paid rates and the union will be campaigning next year for a better wage increase for this group and others."
Louise Marsters, site delegate at New Lynn Postie Plus and negotiating team member agrees.
"Negotiations went really well but we will achieve more with more members. Getting a national agreement was really important and we can now build on this."
