Let's hope that Winston turns his concerns into voting down the terrible changes to health and safety legislation. We've invited politicians - including Winston and Mark Patterson - will join us at Parliament 1pm today to show their support for killing this bill. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The latest proposed cuts at TPK would mean the loss of more than 20% of the agency's workforce in just two years. This Government's agenda to hollow out Māori capability in the public service is severely undermining the ability of the state to improve outcomes for Māori communities.

Pre 1990 AotearoaNZ union membership was roughly 40%. Post 1990 Union membership continued to decline before stabilising at around 18% today. Join your unions, restore our economy. An economy that works for all New Zealanders, not just the few. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZCTU

An absolute betrayal from ACTs Brooke van Velden. The H&S Bill should not progress. We must kill the bill in honour of the 29 men killed at Pike River and the estimated 10,000 people in NZ who have died from work-related diseases or workplace fatalities since the Pike explosion in 2010. #nzpols

You deserve to be safe at work and to go home at the end of the day. Make sure you tell @nznationalparty.bsky.social that your safety should not be left to chance. Workers know what’s needed when it comes to Health and Safety. So listen up Brooke!

Chris Bishop and National might think health and safety measures are a joke - we know the truth. Our friends and family members working on the roads need protection and road cones slow motorists down and help keep them safe. Don't let National gut our health and safety system, submit now.
