Dear Ann Sherry,

Having a happy workforce makes business sense. One way to achieve this is by improving wages. But Westpac pays many of its workers lower wages than workers doing a similar job at other banks.
We urge you in your negotiations with Westpac workers early in 2007 to give them a Christmas present that will last into the future – pay parity with other bank workers.
Together we can make Better Banks in New Zealand that customers, shareholder and workers will all be proud of.

Merry Christmas from: __________________________
