Deloitte Comment

At GWRC’s request Deloitte undertook a comparison of the financial implications of

the proposed collective agreement compared to the expired collective
agreement. The purpose of that comparison was to assist the discussions between
the parties, not to assess the individual impact of the proposal on any one driver.

That analysis was necessarily at a high level, but it focused on the financial
implications on drivers in different categories of seniority (0-2, 5, 10 and 15 years of
service) and working various roster block scenarios.

The Deloitte analysis concludes that (before the ratification payments of $5,000 or
$10,000 are included):

• The overall wage cost of the proposed collective agreement would be 3.8%
higher in relation to Wellington City Transport and 9.1% in relation to Cityline
than the wage cost under the expired collective.
• Most driver categories and most mixes of shifts that Deloitte reviewed would
be financially better off (but to varying degrees) under the proposed collective
agreement
• Full time drivers at WCT with more than 10 years of service who work
primarily PM shifts would be slightly worse off under the proposed
agreement.This currently affects 7 WCT drivers.
