“Workplace deaths are injuries are not by accident, they are by design” CTU President Richard Wagstaff delivers chilling address at Workers Memorial Day stone in Wellington today.
"The post-Pike River political consensus on workplace health and safety is dead. This has been evidenced by the slashing of WorkSafe jobs by the outgoing Labour Govt, and the further cost cutting plans announced by WorkSafe." Richard Wagstaff. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350255…
New data out today shows that inflation is at 4%. Rents are rising at the fastest rate since they were recorded in 1999. Housing and vehicle insurance increased more than 20%. These are all costs that working people can’t avoid. union.org.nz/inflation-data…
If the PM really cared about working people, he wouldn’t be getting rid of jobs, he wouldn’t have cut the minimum wage, and he wouldn’t have scrapped Fair Pay Agreements, which would have lifted the pay of hundreds of thousands of low-income workers. nzherald.co.nz/nz/unions-slam…
A cut of that size would be “brutal”, at a ministry that “carries out a very important role by being a bridge between the Government and Pasifika communities, and particularly hard to reach groups”. thepost.co.nz/politics/35022…
Last chance to sign our petition to stop minimum wage cuts before we deliver it to MPs tomorrow. Help us get more than 9000 signatures in support of annual minimum wage increases that keep up with the cost-of-living. together.org.nz/stop_minimum_w…
Let's band together to Save Our Stories! visit together.org.nz/save_our_stori… to sign our open letter, supporting quality news and current affairs in Aotearoa New Zealand.
We went to Christopher Luxon's office to invite him to meet with us on the government's 90th day in office to discuss the future of employment. What happened next will shock you (probably not)
Today we delivered a meeting invitation to @chrisluxonmp's office to discuss his performance and the government's upcoming 90-day anniversary. We understand this might be a challenging time for them and we remind them that EAP is available to provide confidential support.
Sign the @NZ_CTU petition to stop minimum wage cuts All wages should be set a living wage level and the recent decision to increase the minimum wage below the rate of inflation will see New Zealanders fall behind. together.org.nz/stop_minimum_w…
We urge the Government to take decisive action on poverty and soaring living costs by advancing policies that ensure everyone has enough to pay the bills, feed their kids and keep them warm through winter. union.org.nz/child-poverty-…
The union movement is sending its love and condolences to the family of Fa’anānā Efeso Collins. Efeso was a full of warmth, grace and passion for his people. He was always a staunch supporter and advocate of working people. We will miss him dearly. union.org.nz/nzctu-statemen…
Join us in calling on the PM to do the right thing and deliver minimum wage increases that don’t see New Zealand workers fall further behind. Sign the petition. together.org.nz/stop_minimum_w…
Our President, Richard Wagstaff, was honoured to attend the recent hui at Tūrangawaewae and Waitangi. This year, more than ever, unions must stand in solidarity with Māori workers in the fight back against the assault on their rights. union.org.nz/unions-must-sh…

Any delay on a ban is just providing more time for workers to be exposed to a toxic product that kills. These diseases are incurable, but are completely preventable. I hope the NZ govt learns from the devastation that has happened in Australia and protects the workers of NZ.
CTU President Richard Wagstaff is calling on Minister Brooke van Velden for a total ban on engineered stone to protect workers’ health. Exposure to the silica dust from cutting engineered stone can cause the fatal lung disease silicosis. This needs to be addressed urgently.
Pōneke's march for Palestine listening to a "lightning round" of speakers bringing voices of solidarity from tangata whenua, migrants, disabled people, unions and many more diverse groups. Great to see @TogetherUnionNZ President Richard Wagstaff repping union solidarity.
Accelerated Silicosis is a devastating disease - protect stone workers and their whānau by banning this material!

Promises to reduce current inflation by cutting public spending should therefore be treated with a high degree of caution. Instead, those cuts will simply hurt service services, with negative economic benefit overall. Cuts in essential services cost us all in the long-run.
Inflation has now fallen from 7.2% to 4.7% without significant cuts to government spending, and on a quarterly basis is now within the the target range. Inflation doesn’t appear to have been driven by government spending in any significant way.
This data reinforces the need to support low-income families struggling with the cost of living. We have not had an announcement on the Minimum Wage, which normally happens in December. This needs to increase by at least inflation so those on that they don’t fall further behind
Petrol pricing was static last quarter - but is up annually because of the removal of the fuel duty reduction. without that fuel prices would have fallen. Fuel prices tend to drive future inflation, and so that is a good indicator that future inflation will be lower than today
Food prices fell quarterly (by 1.2%), but are still 5.7% higher than a year ago – with bread, fruit, and groceries price increases all outpacing general inflation. The spike in prices associated with global supply chains and weather events appears to be behind us at last.
