Tramways Union drivers in Wellington have accepted a fourth pay offer from NZ Bus, bringing an end to months of wrangling over their collective agreement.The long-running saga has resulted in stop-work meetings, a strike, and a lockout.This afternoon NZ Bus confirmed in a statement a new collective employment agreement has been settled on with its Wellington drivers.Chief Operating Officer Jay Zmijewski said the agreement secures a fair and equitable outcome for existing staff and gives NZ Bus greater ability to recruit more full-time drivers."This is a great outcome. We want our drivers to be the best paid and have the best conditions in the industry, and this deal achieves that."We look forward to attracting more drivers to the industry to provide safe and secure public transport services to the people of Wellington."Tramways Union has been approached for comment.Zmijewski acknowledged the role Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) has played in the pay talks."We look forward to partnering with council to improve service levels in the coming weeks and months."Wellington has been battling with a shortage of at least 60 drivers, resulting in record cancellations.A new reduced peak-hour bus timetable came into effect on Sunday for some services in an effort to provide more certainty, instead of commuters waiting for buses which never show up.Greater Wellington Regional Council chairman Daran Ponter. (Photo / Mark Mitchell)GWRC chairman Daran Ponter said today's vote was good news and meant drivers and the operators could put the issue behind them."This has been six months of tension and acrimony and both parties needed to be able to settle on an agreement they can live with for the next three years."But as importantly, it's also good for Wellingtonians. It means they can have certainty that they're not going to have stop-work meetings on a frequent basis."The council's involvement in negotiations is a significant step-change from its previous position of being a bystander.It has provided mediators and facilitators, topped up driver wages to the living wage, and changed service provision to get rid of as many split shifts as possible.Metlink general manager Scott Gallacher said new bus timetables would now be drawn up to reflect some of the "real wins" in the new agreement."One of the most positive outcomes will be guaranteed 8-hour shifts on request, making work and home life easier to manage for drivers."But the new timetable could also result in some services being axed due to the driver shortages, as has already gone ahead on Tranzurban services."We'll be looking to get agreement on a set of timetable changes that will better match staffing numbers to ultimately create a more flexible and reliable network", Gallacher said.
Today the European Union revealed the details of its “Fit for 55”, a package of toughened climate laws designed to help hit the target of reducing emissions by 55% by 2030. But what does it contain, does it go far enough to hit the target, and what will it mean for business and consumers? Environment editor Kevin O Sullivan and Europe correspondent Naomi O'Leary report. A Central Bank paper on long-term debt has revealed that over-60s make up a quarter of all those in mortgage arrears. This vulnerable group, often with limited ability to escape debt due to their age, should be offered new ways to manage their debt, says the bank. Markets correspondent Joe Brennan explains what the Central Bank has said, and Rachel McGovern, Director of Financial Service for Mortgage Brokers Ireland, says our approach to those in arrears has stored up problems and needs a rethink.

The cruise industry is pleading with the government not to extend the ban on cruise ships and allow the industry to start up again with kiwi-only voyages. In April, the government suspended all cruise ship visits until the end of June. Kevin O'Sullivan, Chief Executive of the New Zealand Cruise Association, says the industry has lost tens of millions in that time, and if cruise visits do not begin til next summer, the losses could be in the order of $280 million. He says there's an appetite for some smaller cruise ships to start up again, for New Zealand passengers only, adding in Australian passengers if and when the Trans Tasman bubble gets going.

The government expects the economy to take a significant hit from tough new border rules, and a relief package is expected this week.The travel industry is reeling from the new travel restrictions, announced Sunday that mean from midnight tonight all incoming travellers, including New Zealand citizens, will have to self-isolate for two weeks, except for those coming from the Pacific Islands.All cruise ships have been told to stay away until the end of June.Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the economic stimulus package she will unveil on Tuesday, to try to mitigate the blow, will be the most significant measure she will announce as prime minister.The package is designed to help businesses and staff affected by tough new rules to prevent the spread of the coronavirus."I need to make sure that we are actually targeting those businesses that need help the most, and that it's sufficient to keep people in work."Ardern said we won't be able to stop the spread of Covid-19, but hopes that the tougher measures will help slow it.Finance Minister Grant Robertson told RNZ's Sunday Morning the government is expecting a serious blow to the economy from the effects of the virus and the travel ban, particularly to the tourism industry.But the situation could be much worse off in the long-run, if the government didn't act now."This is going to have a very serious impact - you cannot have a situation like this without having an impact. But the virus unchecked will have not only a devastating health impact but an even more long-lasting and deep economic impact, and the hit would be far, far bigger," he says."We already know that the tourism industry was suffering, people simply weren't travelling from the rest of the world."Cabinet will meet on Monday to finalise details for the relief package."If you just take the tourism sector it's worth 5 or 6 percent of New Zealand's GDP, it employs tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people if you look at industries that are supported by tourism, so this will be a hit," Robertson says."We want to work with those businesses on what we can do to support them to get through this, and obviously New Zealanders will be here and will be in a position to be able to support them."But many have been looking at reducing the hours of their staff."The government will have discussions with Air New Zealand today about how it will be affected by the tough new border rules.Robertson says Air New Zealand will have to make big operational changes."I absolutely recognise a significant period of uncertainty for the 13,000 or so people who work for Air New Zealand, but we are in discussions hour by hour, about how we can support them."We want our airline to be able to keep going. There won't as much requirement for international flights, but there are other things that we want to achieve, such as making sure that goods keep moving backwards and forwards."He said the timing is at the end of the cruise ship season, which peaks through January and February.But the group representing cruise ships says the ban on passenger ships is draconian, and goes too far.The Cruise Association's Chief Executive, Kevin O'Sullivan, said the industry is in a state of shock."I can understand why the prime minister and government are deciding to take these steps, but they certainly are much harsher than anywhere else in the world."And they seem to have the most serious implications for us in the cruise industry."He said the ban will likely affect more than 140 visits to our harbours by cruise ships on 45 voyages.- RNZ
The Government is advising New Zealanders to reconsider taking overseas cruises.Cruise Association chief executive Kevin O'Sullivan told Kate Hawkesby he's disappointed at the advice being given out."We believe that cruises are being unfairly targeted and it's a kneejerk reaction.O'Sullivan says a cruise is no more dangerous than going to church on Sunday."There are a lot of people in close proximity with each other, but it's no different to other events like conferences or going to church."LISTEN ABOVE

A #broadsheet is the largest #newspaper format and is characterized by long vertical pages (typically 22.5 in (57 cm)). Other common newspaper formats include the smaller Berliner and tabloid/compact formats. History The broadsheet, broadside, was used as a format for musical and popular prints in the 17th century. Eventually, people began using the broadsheet as a source for political activism by reprinting speeches. Broadsheet newspapers developed after the British in 1712 placed a tax on newspapers based on the number of their pages. Larger formats, however, had long been signs of status in printed objects, and still are in many places, and outside Britain, the broadsheet developed for other reasons, including style and authority, unrelated to the British tax structure. With the early mechanization of the 19th century came an increased production of printed materials including the broadside, as well as the competing penny dreadful. In this period, newspapers all over Europe began to print their issues on broadsheets. However, in the United Kingdom, the main competition for the broadside was the gradual reduction of the newspaper tax, beginning in the 1830s, and eventually its dismissal in 1855.[4] With the increased production of newspapers and literacy, the demand for visual reporting and journalists led to the blending of broadsides and newspapers, creating the modern broadsheet newspaper. #TheIrishTimes is an Irish daily broadsheet newspaper launched on 29 March 1859. The editor is Paul O'Neill who succeeded Kevin O'Sullivan on 5 April 2017; the deputy editor is Deirdre Veldon. The Irish Times is published every day except Sundays.
