Public servants keep the country running. But itā€™s a really hard time to be working in the public service right now. Letā€™s take a moment to show some love and tell positive stories about public servants and the work they do. together.org.nz/we_love_our_puā€¦

Worker entitlements in the Holidays Act must be protected through this review. Viruses and other illnesses have no regard for hours of work. People who are sick should be supported to stay at home and not spread sickness around workplaces. union.org.nz/proposed-holidā€¦

Brooke van Velden's attempt to block contractors from challenging their employment status in the courts represents the biggest attack on workersā€™ rights since the early 1990s and would open the floodgates to worker exploitation across Aotearoa. rnz.co.nz/news/politicalā€¦

We've joined with 18 other organisations to call on Brooke van Velden to follow Australia's example and save workers' lives from accelerated silicosis by banning engineered stone in Aotearoa. Everyone has the right to expect a safe workplace. nzherald.co.nz/nz/ban-engineeā€¦

The fight for good wages is more urgent than ever. Power to Win, a new book by Lyndy McIntyre, tells us the story of the Living Wage Movement and how transforming the lives of working people and building a fairer society is within our reach. union.org.nz/power-to-win/

Rising unemployment means more and more families struggling just to get by. The Government has no plan to keep people in work and are making life harder for unemployed people by attacking their right to access benefits. They are out of touch with the realities of working people.
