Keep Fair Pay Speaker

Thanks for signing. Will you share your story?

We need real stories to show why FPAs matter.

We are looking for people who want to share what Fair Pay Agreements means to them. This might be in the media (TV, radio or newspapers) or for social media stories. We’d love to hear from everyone and we’re particularly keen to hear from people who work in the industries where FPAs are currently underway. Will you help us out?

Please share what FPAs means to you below, or leave your details so we can get in touch.

No thanks

Have worked in customer service industry (retail, hospitality, tourism, NGO, Council) for 10+ years and seen how important these agreements are for roles of all kinds and how they impact individual wellbeing. Happy to talk more. Email: [email protected] Number: 021 212 7941

Nurses have been negotiating for fair pay since long before I retired as a nurse, nearly 10 years ago. A lot of progress has been made towards achieving this, so this is a big slap in the face to all the hard working nurses. I haven’t forgotten National’s “Mother of all Budgets”when Ruth Richatdson was Minister of Finance. The budget cut benefits of the poorest in societyto get through a financial crisis This was the start of Food Banks which have grown to huge proportions today because of the poverty it exacerbated.

If we want wages to be like Australia it is madness to get rid of fair pay agreements. The coalitions aim is to keep the majority of us as poor as possible while criticizing the so called brain drain.

When I first started my employment, I was paid less than my peers and was told to take it or leave it. It was a real struggle for my family and me to get ahead

Don’t be dumb or resign

FPAs reduce worker exploitation and give workers a fair deal!

Its only fair that all get paid there worth, not just at the top of corperate level. Us lower paid keep this country running. Support us Nz it is only fair!

Social and economic justice requires fair pay agreements. They are agreements not impositions by one partner
Sarah Dalton commented 2023-12-01 07:17:43 +1300

Fair pay agreements mean our essential workers can rely on decent minimum terms and conditions — and we all benefit when workers can rely on fair pay and working conditions

The ability to bargain collectively is an absolute human right, and a cornerstone of democracy. Don’t let’s them take your rights and freedoms away. Ar-a-mach!!!!

It is viral that the FPA is protected at all costs especially in this day and age with the cost of living crisis has affected all the working folk of this country.
Peter Leach commented 2023-12-01 07:14:08 +1300

If we are to be the nation that we say we want to be…, then everyone…. deserves fair and legal mandated minimum pay levels…

Fair Pay means doing the right thing by workers. Let’s all fight to keep from losing what are hard-earned gains!
Adele McNutt commented 2023-12-01 06:51:48 +1300

Repeal the fair pay agreement for what? The unfair pay agreement? It is shameful.

Support these working hard for our country. Everyone deserves a voice.

FPA to me means trying to give more people a liveable wage and giving working people a voice through representation.

As a supermarket worker it is hard getting paid the minimum wage, especially in this time of Inflation and the cost of living crisis. The Fair Pay Agreement would not just help me and my family but other workers in my situation. I know we will all work extremely hard to keep the FPA.
Leah Denton commented 2023-11-30 09:58:51 +1300

Fair pay is the fairest way, please let it stay
