Proposed amendments
Jan Logie, in Committee, to move the following amendments:
Clause 25
In the heading to clause 25, replace “Strikes and lockouts”
(page 36, line 22) with “Lockouts”
.
In clause 25(1),—
(a)
replace “a strike or”
(page 36, line 23) with “a”
:
(b)
replace “the strike or”
(page 36, line 25) with “the”
.
In clause 25(2), replace “strike and lockout have the meanings”
(page 36, line 28) with “lockout has the meaning”
.
New clause 25A
After clause 25 (page 36, after line 29), insert:
25A Strikes
(1)
For the purpose of assessing whether a strike by employees and their representative organisations is lawful,—
(a)
bargaining for a fair pay agreement is to be considered as bargaining for a collective agreement under the Employment Relations Act 2000; and
(b)
relevant provisions of the Employment Relations Act 2000 apply.
(2)
In this section, strike has the meaning provided in Part 8 of the Employment Relations Act 2000.
Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) amends the Fair Pay Agreements Bill. The right to industrial action during bargaining is a fundamental protection for workers. This SOP would ensure that workers have the right to strike during negotiations for a fair pay agreement, on the same basis as under the Employment Relations Act 2000.
