据新西兰卫生部7月16日消息，新西兰卫生部长安德鲁·利特尔（Andrew Little）表示;新西兰护士组织决定接受政府提高成员薪酬的提议，并解除罢工通知，这是朝着解决地区卫生委员会护士薪酬要求迈出的积极一步。
他说：”令人鼓舞的是，新西兰国家卫生局和DHB就护士就业协议进行的讨论产生了一项新的提议，将提供给护士，工会已经解除了7月29日和30日罢工通知”。
护士们投票决定在7月、8月和9月举行罢工，以支持他们的工资要求。
安德鲁·利特尔说：”既然卫生局不再需要花时间准备应对罢工造成的重大混乱，我们可以集中精力解决主要问题，即护士的薪酬权益要求。除了薪酬谈判之外，我一直在推动官员努力就薪酬公平问题提出一个全面和有原则的提议，我们离提出一些意味着我们可以解决护士们长期面临的历史性不公平问题还有一个月的时间。护士多年来一直工资过高，这主要是因为这是一个以女性为主的职业。确定薪酬权益索赔意味着，他们的工作将首次得到认可和重视，与同类职业一样多。劳工在这些问题上有着引以为豪的记录，在政府执政的四年中，我们已经将护士工资提高了10以上。向护士提供解决其就业协议的提议符合政府对公共部门的就业关系期望”。
安德鲁·利特尔感谢谈判团队双方为取得进展而付出的辛勤努力，并敦促他们继续建设性地合作。
Health Minister welcomes progress on nurses’ pay
According to news from the Ministry of Health today on July 16,The New Zealand Nurses Organisation’s decision to take the Government’s improved pay offer to members and to lift strike notices is a positive move towards settling district health board nurses’ pay claims, Health Minister Andrew Little said.
“It’s encouraging that the discussions between NZNO and DHBs over the nurses’ employment agreement have resulted in a new offer that will go out to nurses, and that the union has lifted strike notices for July 29 and 30,” he said.
Nurses voted to hold strikes in July, August and September in support of their pay claims.
“Now that DHBs no longer have to spend time preparing to deal with the major disruption a strike would cause we can focus instead on resolving the main issue, which is the nurses’ pay-equity claim,” Andrew Little said.
“Separate to pay negotiations, I have been driving officials hard to put together a comprehensive and principled offer on pay equity and we are a month away from tabling something that means we can address the long-standing historical unfairness that nurses have faced.
“Nurses have been underpaid for years, largely because it’s a female-dominated profession.
“Settling the pay-equity claim means that for the first time, their work will be recognised and valued as much as comparable professions.
“Labour has a proud track record on these issues and we have already increased nurses’ pay by more than 10 per cent in the four years we have been in Government.”
The offer that is going out to nurses to settle their employment agreement is within the Government’s employment relations expectations for the public sector.
Andrew Little thanked both sides of the bargaining team for their hard work to make progress and urged them to continue to work together constructively.
