Other campaigns NZNO supports

Fairness at Work

Unions know that times are tough, but cutting workers’ rights, public services, and jobs and wages won’t help get us out of recession – in fact, it’ll make it worse.

Find out more about what’s going on, what your rights are, and what you can do to stop the cuts:

A selection of photos and links to media coverage of the early December rallies are now up on the Fairness at Work website - follow the low pay links from the front page.

A practical way to support the jobs of other Kiwi workers in a time of economic recession.

ACC Futures Coalition

The future of the New Zealand accident compensation scheme (ACC) is important to the people of New Zealand – as workers, employers, sportspeople, business people, treatment providers, drivers, parents and citizens.

The ACC Futures Coalition has been established to promote the current model of ACC in view of recent criticism of the scheme and signals from the government to privatise various ACC accounts and open these to competition. Participating organisations in the coalition are listed on this page.

Pay Equity Challenge Coalition

Women are paid at least 12% less than men, in average hourly earnings. NZNO is a member of the Pay Equity Challenge Coalition. We challenge this Government to tell us what their plans are for closing the gender pay gap.
