Yesterday’s mega strike was epic, but back in 1979 - Aotearoa saw its only ever general strike.
General Strike!
In 1979, nearly 400,000 workers downed tools in New Zealand’s only nationwide work stoppage

I’m ashamed of New Zealand. We used to stand for something. Stood up against nuclear testing. NZF is just IDF first. #freepalestine

Libertarianism sounds good in theory but doesn’t work in practice. Eventually, you’ll need a handout.

The least we can do is put council workers on the living wage. Make sure you’re not voting for boot leather.
nzpsa.bsky.social Public Service Association @nzpsa.bsky.social · Sep 25
To live a dignified, full life in Aotearoa, a person needs to be paid at least $28.95 an hour. In this local election, your vote can support the living wage in local government.
Visit psa.org.nz/local2025 to find out more about the living wage in local government, and which candidates support it.
The image is a photograph of a Living Wage event in Wellington overlaid with a reddish-brown filter and yellow and white text. The text reads “VOTE FOR THE LIVING WAGE. VOTE FOR A BETTER FUTURE. People, just like pipes, need to be paid a decent wage. And, just like infrastructure, you get what you pay for. Workers who are not stressing about how they’re going to pay for their kid’s shoes or dog-tired from working a second job, are better workers. Better workers make for better services for local communities – whether that be rubbish collection, running the library, or repairing roads. FIND OUT MORE: psa.org.nz/local2025 There is a PSA logo in the bottom right-hand corner.

The Government's announced sick day legislation changes strip minimum leave entitlements from part time workers.

The changes will take a few years to come into practical effect, and union members with sick leave entitlements stated in Collective Agreements will not be affected. Join your union!
text reading "Sick leave changes, the facts: - Part-time workers lose their minimum sick leave entitlement. - It will be a few years until these changes come into practical effect. - If your Collective Agreement contains sick leave entitlements, then they are safe. Join your union now!"

You cannot be disciplined for, or stopped from, talking about your pay rate.

Not only that, your employer also can't refuse to offer you a promotion or disadvantage you in any way on the basis of you talking about your pay. Thanks to Camilla Belich’s 2025 Employment Relations Amendment Bill.

Fat but fit? A lot of fatphobia is driven by judgmental aestheticism not data.

For all the talk about protecting rural communities, the right seems disinclined to stop the collapse of manufacturing plants in the regions. This is the ‘free’ market at work.
