Better Banks is a three year campaign that runs across all banks.
Finsec members have achieved a lot over recent years. Our new approach to campaigning has meant that all the banks are watching us to see what is coming next!
But there are still some big issues that are common across all banks that need fixing. If we work together we have the best chance of introducing industry-wide standards around issues like pay and pay systems, targets, under staffing, stress, investment in staff training, and investment in high quality customer service.
Finsec is involved in various campaigns to support pay and employment equity, and in particular to close the gender pay gap between male and female workers.
Pay targets are hurting finance workers and they are stressful for customers Finsec is campaigning to en the widespread use of performance pay system thats encourage workers to sell increasingly large amounts of debt products to their customers. If staff don’t reach these arbitrary targets, they miss out on pay. And our jobs might even be threatened. For workers these targets cause stress, frustration and lost pay. For customers, they can also cause stress and frustration.
Finsec supports the CTU's major campaign to make low wages history. We beleive workers should be paid a fair wage or salary that allows them to bring up a family and cover the costs of a happy and safe Kiwi lifestyle.
