In the third episode of For What We’re Worth, we have an update from Andy Hipkiss and Nicole Wallace on the bargaining meetings in Late July. These sessions covered Academics and Medical academics, along with living wage and performance pay (tupu). Then, Oreen Almeida speaks with Paul Taillon, Senior Lecturer in History at UoA and former Auckland branch president for the TEU. Paul is a union historian and talks about the birth of unionism and its journey over the last one hundred and fifty years to the modern bargaining processes of today both in Aotearoa and overseas.
