Te Whatu Ora mass meetings June 2025
Mass union meetings will be held for NZNO members employed by Te Whatu Ora between 3-13 June.
These are post-ratification meetings to discuss next steps.
Te Whatu Ora has been officially notified that these meetings are taking place.
Paid union meetings are a right union members have under Section 26 of the Employment Relations Act and Clause 21 of the collective agreement. Union members have the right to attend a properly notified union meeting on ordinary pay if they would otherwise be working.
Two other important points to note are that:
- the Act requires us to make arrangements with the employer to ensure that the employer’s business is maintained during any union meeting,
- we must provide the employer with a list of all those who attended a stop work meeting.
Some of these meetings will be held offsite. The meetings will be an hour in duration but because they are Section 26 paid union meetings you have a right of travel time (up to half hour) either side of the meeting to attend.
The schedule of meetings will be kept updated below.
