Make a submission to Parliament on the employment law changes - deadline 13 September

National is proposing changes to employment law that will affect every worker in New Zealand. The SFWU has condemned these changes, which represent a direct attack on thousands of working men and women.

You deserve:

• protection against unfair dismissal (leaflet with more info here)
• fair access to union advice and support
• respect when you are off sick for a day

[read our media release here].

Our Northern Regional President Percy Harrison spoke to Te Karere about his concerns about what this would mean for workers.The SFWU and other unions are part of the Fairness at Work campaign through the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions (NZCTU).
