| 810397 | 2009-09-15 05:25:00 | It seems that while everyone else is facing pay freezes or redundancy, the bus drivers' union are still demanding higher pay increases. How many people out there would turn down a 10.4% pay rise (over 3 years) in the current economic climate? www.nzherald.co.nz |

The wages are so low now that only immigrants from the 3rd world will come and drive them .. hence the reason that Samoa changed to left side driving.. |

| 810401 | 2009-09-15 08:25:00 | Some fourteen years ago I started work for a company at $11.00 per hour. When I retired in Dec 2008 I was still working for the same company at $15.50 per hour. You signed the contract or you did not have a job. |

| 810402 | 2009-09-15 08:59:00 | What was your job Sweep if you don't mind me asking, that almost sounds like Nelson wages although we get paid more when the sun doesn't shine just ask Wratty | gary67 (56) | ||

On road and off road too. I don't mind you asking BTW. Harvesting maize at that time. I am the guy driving the Semi in this picture taken by one of my mates. My main point was that there was not a major increase over the years percentagewise. We didn't get wet weather money either but I asked for rain gear last year and got free wet weather gear and the boss did not ask me to hand it back which was a plus I guess. |
