The NZCTU promotes a just transition for working people affected by economic change, whether it is driven by climate change, technology, or economic shocks.
A just transition is the result of proactive planning and action to mitigate the negative impacts of the change process, address inequities, and capitalise on opportunities that the transition provides. It ensures no worker is left behind.
The NZCTU’s policy work focuses on how we can enhance the resilience of workers, communities, and the wider economy to future economic change, ensure good work is available to all, and empower workers to drive progressive change themselves.
