Public Service Minister Judith Collins’ admission in Parliament that the Government is looking at restricting public sector workers' fundamental right to strike is deeply concerning and demands further explanation, says the Public Service Association Te Pūkenga Here Tikanga Mahi.

Public Service Minister Judith Collins’ admission in Parliament that the Government is looking at restricting public sector workers' fundamental right to strike is deeply concerning and demands further explanation says the PSA

In response to questions in Parliament yesterday from Camilla Belich, Collins stated the Government is "looking at how we can strengthen the bargaining system so that people might have better options available before racing off to strike, such as, for instance, mediation or any other sorts of facilitated bargaining."

PSA National Secretary Fleur Fitzsimons says Judith Collins needs to come clean about exactly what the Government is planning, as mediation and facilitation already exist and are regularly used.

"Judith Collins admitted in Parliament that the Government is looking to further limit the right to strike. This is a very serious matter and demands an urgent explanation.

"The right to strike is a cornerstone of our democratic workplace relations system. Any attempt to restrict this fundamental right would be a direct attack on working people's ability to negotiate fair wages and conditions.

"This Government has already shown it is willing to remove basic rights without consultation when it stripped away women's pay equity rights in the dead of night. It has also already undermined the right to strike by introducing pay deductions for partial strikes.

"Collins talks about 'better options' but what she's really talking about is forcing workers into new processes that favour employers and which remove the remaining few tools workers have to push back. There are already significant limits on the right to strike in New Zealand.
