ACC Doctors deserve a bit of basic respect

Today’s step by ACC doctors, to stop their work again for four hours, shows that the belligerent tactics of ACC’s management are outmoded and lead nowhere, says CTU Secretary Sam Huggard.

"A more constructive approach from ACC would really help. If asking ACC managers to say they support staff wellbeing, offer the same redundancy provisions they already offer other ACC employees and contemplate a less-than-CPI pay increase is more than they are even prepared to talk about - I think all employers should be able to do better than that," says Huggard.

"Basic respect for employees - wherever they are in the workforce - has to be a cornerstone of all employment relationships."
