As a result of progress in negotiations with the Labor Department, the staff belonging to the PSA, the New Zealand Public Service Association, have lifted some of its strike prompted by accidents at work.

The PSA is New Zealand's largest public sector union, increasingly concerned to resolve the debate on tax cuts, job security, salary increases and other issues focused on public requests.

"We made some progress in negotiations last week for what they have lifted the strike notices for this week and half of next week, "says PSA National Secretary Richard Wagstaff.

More than 750 workers – including officers of border security, health and safety inspectors, industrial labor inspectors and mediators – are due to begin a series of two-hour strike this week. They are looking for an offer of better pay and want to scrap its current salary setting system because, among other reasons and concerns, it is reported as being perceived as "confused, inconsistent and unfair."

Two strikes Notices hours remain in place for Friday 12 June and Monday 16 June. New ads will be published for two strikes on Tuesday 17 June to Thursday 19 June.

Military border security monitor passengers arriving on international flights at Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch Airports. They have the power to refuse entry to passengers who are trying to enter illegally in New Zealand.

Other staff involved in the dispute are health and safety inspectors who enforce the health and safety requirements in workplaces and investigate accidents at work, inspectors work to ensure that workers receive the conditions that have right; mediators to help employers and workers to resolve labor issues and immigration.

Labor Department staff involved in the low-level conflict have begun industrial action. Yesterday, Monday, June 2, began a ban on overtime, doing unpaid work and care conferences and training department.

"They are taking this action to an offer of better salaries and because the current payment system configuration is confusing, inconsistent and unfair, "says Richard Wagstaff.

Labor Department staff also also rejected an offer of a pay raise 3% and are seeking a greater offer of a 4% increase instead. Furthermore, also want their performance management system scrapping in order to be replaced so would like a different judge "fair and transparent system" for setting their pay.

"They have lost faith in its management system performance, because it is unfair and does not work, "continues Richard Wagstaff." They are being evaluated and told they deserve a raise of some amount, but then receive a smaller increase. "

Under the current system the average starting salary for some jobs is more than the average wage paid to persons who have been doing the work for several years. However, while this is welcomed by employees has just begun, this means bad news for most employees not are starting again today. His complaint is that they should be rewarded for their loyalty of employees and greater work experience, which inevitably makes of them more desirable employees by the Labor Department.

PSA respondents Labor Department staff on performance management system. Nearly 200 responded. Asked whether the system provides a fair, transparent and easily understood method of delivering pay increases, 87% said 'no'. Asked if the system has contributed to productivity, and thus aid the department in meeting its objectives, 80% said 'no'.

The PSA calls for the introduction of the new wage system in which salary scales and the system of salary progression are fair, transparent and included in the staff collective agreement. Negotiations will resume next week and next.
