Engineers reach pay settlement with Air NZ

Engineers have reached a pay settlement with their employer Air New Zealand.

The airline's engineers had been conducting low-level industrial action for almost a month.

The Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union (EPMU) and the Aviation and Marine Engineers Association (AMEA) said today they had reached a negotiated settlement with Air New Zealand.

EPMU said the deal would not be made public until members from both unions had a chance to review and vote on the settlement over the coming weeks.

Negotiations had been on-going since March, with about 1500 staff members beginning the low-level industrial action on May 9.
