Bupa Sunset petition
NZNO members from Bupa Sunset delivered a petition today to Bupa head office in central Auckland calling on the company to stop recently announced cuts.
Bupa is one of the largest aged care providers in New Zealand and has said it will be restructuring 17 of its sites. As well as the Bupa Sunset petition, nurses and care workers at some sites have been picketing to show their concerns at the impacts that cuts will have on residents and care workers. Bupa employs about 3000 workers. Bupa’s operating profit was reported at just under $12 million in the year to December 2023.
