In our upcoming July issue though, gardening guru Lynda Hallinan says marmalade is in danger of extinction because fewer and fewer people are buying, making or eating it! So tell us: Do you still like marmalade? Yes or no, don't forget …View moreOnce upon a time, marmalade on toast was a winter staple.

Thanks for contacting us.
Based on the information you have concerns about the bargaining process at Spark reported in the news. Bargaining processes whether they be bargained for on an individual or collective basis are employment relations issues that are for employers, Workers and unions respectively to bargain resolve problems for. There is specific employment law and a specialist employment problem solving framework for resolving such issues as reported and debated in the media. Such issues are should not be confused with psychosocial risks to health and safety.
Please see the following information on Employment New Zealand’s website:
www.employment.govt.nz...
www.employment.govt.nz...
Under work-related health and safety legislation a business or undertaking is responsible for managing risks that arise from the conduct of its work, this includes psychological risks and harm. Harm is a separate issue to the employment relations issues above.
Our legislation includes duties to mitigate risks of workplace bullying which we define as repeated and unreasonable behaviour towards a worker or group of workers that can lead to physical or psychological harm. Repeated behaviour is persistent (occurs more than once) and can involve a range of actions over time. Unreasonable behaviour means actions that a reasonable person in the same circumstances would see as unreasonable. It includes victimising, humiliating, intimidating or threatening a person.
We have put out a host of guidance to support workers and businesses meet their duties and navigate issues.
If you know of any of the workers directly and if they are experiencing this they may wish to check our guidance, which provides problem solving options, they may also which to take a look at page 7 and self-evaluate if any of the behaviours they are experiencing fit the bill:
Bullying at work: advice for workers
Our guidance also provides benchmarks for what is expected of an employer and what systems they can put in place to manage psychosocial risks:
Preventing and responding to bullying at work
They could also talk to both our 0800 030 040 (option 1) general enquiries line for more information about the problem solving options available and MBIE’s Employment New Zealand service 0800 20 90 20 about the problem solving options available if they are experiencing psychological harm they could raise a concern via the following channels.
Phone: 0800 030 040 (option 3)

As New Zealand’s work health and safety regulator, a key part of our role is to educate the public and enforce workplace health and safety law, we work strategically and we are not in a position to respond to all matters brought to our attention. We can only investigate the most serious cases when the affected person has a professional diagnosis of a serious mental health condition caused by workplace bullying. We would need to talk to the workers directly in order to ascertain this. However, if you have any specific information directly from workers about this situation you are welcome to provide it.
