So every year you will have to reappy for a role with the company. The companies treat this like a new positition so has the power to change the wages and conditions as it sees fit. If you don't like the new conditions you have no job, simple. Merkel? is trying to bring Germany closer to the China way of working and having the staff with no power and lower wages. We have quite a good labor law here, but as someone esle said we need to increase productivity for our wages to rise not forcing businesses to just pay more. Too many small business are going to the wall with the government only looking after the big guys. To get help from the government NZTE, etc you need to have a turnover of over 10 millon. Yet most of our businesses are SME's. For us all to have better conditions we need better direction from Wellington. Sadly only Shearer seems to understand the manufacturing sector and he's got a fat chance of creating a change. |
