Partnerships
Along with Government and Business New Zealand, the CTU is a social partner. The CTU also works with a range of government agencies, business groups, and NGOs to improve the lives of working people. Some of our current partnerships include:
Unions Talking Health and Safety
In 2002 unions campaigned for better health and safety law. There is a continuing union campaign called Unions Talking Health and Safety. We are campaigning to make sure the law leads to healthier and safer workplaces. Elected health and safety reps are key to the law working well. To date we have trained over 20,000 reps.

Workplace Productivity Education Project
The NZ Council of Trade Unions Workplace Productivity Education Project (WPEP) is an initiative funded by the Department of Labour which was completed in March 2009. It arose from a joint exercise on productivity involving business and union representatives and the government. It is part of a broad series of actions and initiatives that, combined, are designed to enhance productivity in New Zealand. The project provides opportunities for workers to engage in discussion and education on productivity, addressing both the risks and benefits. The resources produced by the project are available from the CTU. Click here for more information.
Learning Reps are elected by employees to help them get ahead with learning at work. They can advise co-workers on opportunities for learning, work with management on company training plans and, most important, promote training that will build a career for workers. Click here for more information.
