Source: PSALegal action is underway to protect the pay and conditions of 18 support workers in South Canterbury who have had to transfer to a new employer. The action is against both RDNS and Health NZ – Te Whatu Ora. The contract is managed by Health NZ – Te Whatu Ora to provide essential care to elderly and other people with health and mobility issues. These workers fall within the definition of ‘vulnerable workers’ under Part 6A of the Employment Relations Act. “What RDNS is doing, with Te Whatu Ora’s agreement, is completely out of step with other similar transfers of contracts.
