Disability care workers face suspension threat from services provider

A spokesperson for the trust said, “In response to this action by the PSA, we had no option but to advise staff of our intention to suspend any workers who participate in the strikes starting on Tuesday, in order to ensure continuity of services to the tāngata in our care. On Sunday night the trust told the Herald, “The Employment Relations Authority’s recommendations are not binding on parties, and in making them the authority noted that further mediation may be required. Asked about this, the trust said, “We remain steadfast in our duty to ensure the sustainability of our organisation, the wellbeing of our kaimahi, and, most importantly, the best outcomes for our tāngata, in line with our organisation’s values.”
