1/4 In September last year we sought a meeting with Winston Peters and New Zealand First to talk about the Employment Relations Amendment Bill and what could be done to protect workers in New Zealand. We met with them in October and again shortly before the Bill was passed. #nzpol

Winston Peters has 'no doubt' he could've stopped contractors law if unions went to him earlier

The Green's Teanau Tuiono says New Zealand First doesn't "give a damn" about workers.

I remember sitting in the gallery for the second reading of the Health and Safety at Work Act, with Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse, and Deborah McMillan whose husband was killed on a forestry job, and listening to the MP for Invercargill waxing lyrical about "preserving rural life". It was gross.

Yet again Minister Van Velden shows ignorance of real vs imaginary risks to young people from NZ laws and practice. There's no minimum age for work in NZ. Pike River deaths included 17YO. Collecting eggs? No. Kids dying or being injured riding quadbikes? Yes. #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
