Today NZNO members employed by Te Whatu Ora in roles covered by the proposed Te Whatu Ora/NZNO Collective Agreement will be emailed a link to vote in a secure online collective agreement ratification ballot. The ballot, which will be run from the secure Election Runner platform, will be open from today 11 May until this Friday 15 May at 5pm.
You will find links to the ratification documents in the ballot email and when you click through to vote. The ratification documents and FAQs can also be found here. They are also linked below.
The outcome of the ballot will be decided by the majority (50% +1) of members who vote in the ballot.
If the majority of members vote to accept the proposed settlement and collective agreement, NZNO will start working with Te Whatu Ora on implementation.
If the majority of members vote to reject the proposed settlement and collective agreement, we will continue campaigning to achieve members' claims. Planning is underway for this eventuality. The first step would be to require Te Whatu Ora to return to bargaining and to produce a better offer, failure to do so will lead to further industrial action that in the bargaining team’s view would need to be escalating, serious and sustained.
It is essential there is high member participation in the ratification ballot. The outcome will have an impact on all NZNO members covered by this collective agreement. Spread the word and encourage your workmates to vote.
