Submitted by administrator on Wed, 19/12/2007 - 10:46am.Low paying employers can expect an industrial campaign for a $15 minimum wage rate in collective agreements from next year, says the National Distribution Union.
NDU national secretary Laila Harré says that while the union will be campaigning politically during election year for a legislated $15 minimum wage as well as changes to the ERA to promote industry bargaining, strong industrial campaigns will be needed to achieve a $15 pay rates in many collective agreements.
Ms Harré says that the new $12 minimum wage is not high enough.
