Burger King workers belonging to the KiwiSaver scheme found in April that wage increases, where applicable, had been reduced or foregone to pay the employers Kiwisaver contribution. This was never agreed to in contract negotiations with Unite.

This means that Union members should still have recieved their negotiated rates but didn't. Unite organisers have pressured the company to change this and the company has agreed to make their contribtuion in addition to wages and with backpay to April 1st. The company is not compelled to do this for employees who are not covered by the Unite agreement.

Contact your delegate or Unite organiser if you are concerned that your Kiwisaver contributions are not right.
