300 workers at hospitals throughout the North and South Islands are taking strike action today. We are cleaners and orderlies who play a vital role in keeping our hospitals functioning safely and efficiently.
Our employer is refusing to give us a fair deal!
We need your support!
Cleaners and orderlies who work for OCS at Auckland, Greenlane, Rotorua, Hawkes Bay, Wairarapa, Burwood and Christchurch Hospitals are taking action to achieve a fair pay deal from OCS.
We are members of the Service and Food Workers Union, Nga Ringa Tota (SFWU). Our employer (OCS) has refused to make an offer after nearly a year of fruitless negotiations. OCS is a private contractor to the District Health Boards (DHBs).
All we are asking for is what other employers have already agreed to pay for the same or similar work in public hospitals all round New Zealand.
Other hospital workers doing the same jobs as us but employed directly by the DHBs or other contractors have already been offered a pay rise of 2% from 1 April 2010, but OCS is holding out.
• Support the hospital cleaners
• Contact OCS CEO Kevin Mulcahy and tell them to pay up
• email kevin.mulcahy@ocs.co.nz or phone (09) 377 5317
