Address to CTU Biennial Conference
17-19 October 2005
by Sharon Clair, Maori Vice President CTU

It is a great pleasure and honor for me to be able to stand here as M?ori Vice President. A position that has been created from the spring of Trust, Certainty and Abundant Goodwill.

This Fact Sheet was prepared for the July 2002 General Election campaign.

Progress made under the current Government

Maori workers, especially those on low-incomes, have benefited from increases to the Minimum Wage and improved rights under the Employment Relations Act. Many other areas of progress for Maori relate to better provision of health, education and housing; or policies to support the development of Maori communities.
