Fairness at Work is a union-wide campaign to improve the things that are vital to all working people.
It has three key themes: Rights at Work, Decent Wages and Strong Public Services.
Right now – instead of supporting these things – the Government is threatening workers' rights, cutting public services and not doing enough to ensure decent, fairly-paid jobs.
The CTU is committed to action on pay and employment equity on all fronts: political, industrial and campaigning. Unions are not alone in calling for pay and employment equity and the CTU and CTU unions are part of the Pay and Employment Equity Coalition.
The Government continuesto claim that there is a costs ‘blow-out’. They have invented a "crisis" around ACC so they can open it up to private sector insurance companies, just as they did in 1999.
The NZCTU supports the people of Burma in their struggle for democracy and human rights in their country. We actively support the work of our partner organisation the Federation of Trade Unions Burma (FTUB), and we are currently cooperating to develop a project for Burmese migrant workers' rights in Thailand.
