PSA says disability provider refusing to accept recommendation to settle pay dispute
Photo: RNZ The country's largest kaupapa Māori community disability provider Te Roopu Taurima o Manukau Trust is refusing to accept an Employment Relations Authority (ERA) facilitator's recommendation to settle a collective agreement, the Public Service Association (PSA) says . Te Roopu Taurima operates residential whare in Northland, Auckland, Waikato and Canterbury, and a residential mental health whare in Whangārei. PSA national secretary Kerry Davies said the union and Te Roopu Taurima spent 11 days in bargaining. Unable to reach a settlement, the PSA then applied for facilitation, which Te Roopu Taurima opposed. The ERA held a hearing and ordered the parties into facilitation which lasted four days. However, the facilitator's recommendations to settle the collective agreement for certain staff members seemed to have been ignored. "Kaitaataki and poutaataki [the leaders in disability residential homes] continue to be subject to a lockout of additional hours, despite how this can affect tangata, kaiawhina [support workers they lead] and their own whānau," Davies said. RNZ asked Te Roopu Taurima why it had yet to agree to the ERA facilitator's recommendations, if it went into facilitation in good faith, and what its plan was now to settle the dispute. Te Roopu Taurima declined to respond. Davies said the lack of a settlement was unusual and baffling. "Our members, many of whom are Māori, Pasifika, and migrant workers, have reported losses in earnings of hundreds of dollars, which as already underpaid workers, they cannot afford. "At the same time the lockout is resulting in shortages of available staff in some whare. It's a ridiculous lose-lose situation for Te Roopu Taurima, its workers and the people they care for," Davies said. Both parties in an ERA facilitation have a responsibility to seriously consider and accept the recommendations, except in extraordinary circumstances. "Te Roopu Taurima and its bargaining team, who seem determined to continue a dispute without good cause, are failing the workers and the people who rely on them for support," Davies said. ERA facilitation recommendations are not binding. The PSA said if Te Roopu Taurima continued to ignore the recommendations then bargaining and industrial action would continue.

US will start revoking visas of Chinese students, says Rubio
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the US will start revoking visas of Chinese students linked to the Communist Party or studying sensitive subjects. read more US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that the US will start revoking visas of Chinese students, especially those linked to the Communist Party or studying in sensitive areas. 'The US will begin revoking visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields,' Rubio said in a post on X. China remains at the centre of former President Trump's global trade war, which has shaken financial markets, disrupted supply chains, and raised fears of a major global economic slowdown. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The number of Chinese students in the US has dropped to about 277,000 in 2024, down from a peak of 370,000 in 2019. The decline is partly due to rising tensions between the US and China and stricter checks on Chinese students by the US government. New guidelines from the US State Department are adding more checks on international students, as part of Trump's wider effort to tighten control over foreign admissions in US universities. This is a developing story.
