Get the information
  • Know your rights - the new law makes working life tougher but you do still have rights. Many union members are already protected, and have negotiated better rights than these new laws that protect them from things like unfair dismissal. If you’re not a union member, be sure to join.
  • See what the Department of Labour has to say about the changes.
  • Email us your questions about the new law.
  • Download the information flyers
Get together with your workmates
  • Give out the information to your workmates. Talk about what it means for people at your workplace.
  • Find out about joining a union.
  • Get your workmates to sign our petition opposing the National Government's changes to employment law. Present it to your employer (and send us a copy).
Take the issue to your employer
  • Bosses don’t have to use these laws. Ask your employer to sign our pledge not to use the new unfair provisions in the law - good employers don't need bad laws.
  • Talk to your union about negotiated protection against the unfair laws.
