Union Campaigns Already Working
Some big companies have already agreed to scrap youth rates in 2006. The Engineering, Printing & Manufacturing Union have reached agreement with BP Oil to pay adult rates at BP owned petrol stations, and Unite Union has announced that they too are in negotiations with Restaurant Brands to phase out youth rates. The National Distribution Union's successful campaign to abolish youth rates at Postie Plus outlets in Hawkes Bay prompted the company to get rid of them at all stores.
