You will notice that we have a lot to say about the General Election to be held on Saturday 23 September. Some people say unions should focus on achieving good wages and conditions for members, standing up against unfairness and inequality at work, ensuring health and safety, advocating for high quality apprenticeships and skill recognition, and advocating for working people to have a say in their workplaces. They are absolutely correct. However, our ability to effectively achieve these things for our members is subject to, and fundamentally directed by, policies and legislation of governments. Bill Newson, E tū National Secretary We have all seen the negative results of government first place? Even the International Monetary Fund policies that have shifted the balance completely and and World Bank regard increasing inequality as a unfairly in favour of employers and against working threat to world economies (and that unions are an people and their unions, undermining our ability to important part of the answer). ensure secure dignified jobs and a fair distribution of the wealth that we create at work. Real wages have stagnated and have not kept up with productivity. The problem is not productivity – As a strong, relevant and influential union of the it is how wealth is distributed. We need better laws future we have a responsibility to our members to to support fairer wage bargaining and we need be politically engaged and involved so that we can better high-quality jobs as a foundation for ensure better workplace laws. sustained growth. Of course, our delegates and members understand The fact is that a Labour-Green Government is our that and that is why we had such resounding support best chance of better policies for a fairer workplace. for our general election strategies across our recent round of delegate forums and membership meetings. Labour cannot form a government without a strong coalition partner.

This is the first time E tū has held meetings for all members up and down the country – with over 200 meetings nationwide. Members gathered to discuss our victories in E tū campaigns, our strategic goals and next steps. We were proud to report on the growth of our union membership since launching, breaking the trend of declining union membership in New Zealand and around the world. A big focus of the meetings was our commitment to change the Government at this election. Union members voted to endorse E tū’s plan to help elect a Labour-Greens Government by getting members involved in the election campaign. Home support worker, Tracie Hoeg, attended a meeting in New Plymouth and said she really enjoyed it. “I found the presentation very clear, straightforward and informative – the whole thing was very good and I’m pleased I came,” Tracie said. “It’s good to know about the political and election stuff. Until this meeting, I didn’t realise we’re supporting parties that are for the collective good like Labour and the Greens. I hope other members Tracie Hoeg, New Plymouth go to these meetings every time.” www.etu.nzMembers in Hastings at their Biennial Membership Meeting 3 Equal pay Equal pay ratified! It was a huge undertaking, but E tū members did it! Together with our member leaders, your union met with thousands of care and support workers to ratify the equal pay settlement. The meetings resulted in almost 2000 new members joining our union – a fantastic result. “After all these years of being underpaid, we made it and we won! It’s great news for me. It’s peace of mind.” Lumanai Penesa A huge thank you must go to our army of member leaders, among them, Wairarapa delegate Simone O’Connor. Wairarapa member leaders, Sandra Blake and Simone O’Connor “They were great meetings,” says Simone. “It was such a terrific atmosphere! on holiday, visiting the dentist, or upgrading the car – “Everyone was so positive and pleased and talking things they couldn’t think about before. It was very about what they could do with the money, like going special. I was sad when they were over!” Meanwhile, our members are still getting used to the difference the settlement makes to their pay. Auckland carer, Lumanai Penesa, says when she saw her first full fortnightly pay slip after 1 July, she could hardly believe the figure was correct. “It came as a big surprise to me,” says Lumanai who works at Gracedale Care Home. “It’s a lot. After all these years of being underpaid, we made it and we won! It’s great news for me. It’s peace of mind.” Lumanai is now looking forward to her first family holiday in years. “Me and my family, we never travel out of Auckland. Now I’m making plans. I’m always driving these old, old cars. Now, I’m going to buy a good car so I can take my family away at Christmas time and during holidays, just explore the rest of New Zealand.” Lumanai says the new pay has also transformed how she feels about her job: “It makes us want to come to work, knowing you can bring home good Sealed with a kiss: Lumanai Penesa’s first full equal money.

  • Oral Submission to the Education and Workforce Committee on the Employment Relations Amendment Bill
    Oral Submission to the Education and Workforce Committee on the Employment Relations Amendment Bill By written by Bernice Williams, presented by Margaret Ledgerton and Gill Greer on 29 March 2018 Education and Workforce Committee Committee Chairperson: Michael Woodhouse, National List; Jan Tinetti, Labour List; Simeon Brown, National Pakuranga; Denise Lee, National Maungakiekie; Marja Lubeck, Labour List; Jo Luxton, Labour List; Mark Patterson, NZ First List; Jamie Strange, Labour List; Chloe Swarbrick, Green List. (Absent: Nikki Kaye, National Auckland Central). Ata marie. Good morning. My name is Margaret Ledgerton, immediate past Employment Convenor, and my colleague is Dr Gill Greer, CE, both of the National Council of Women of New Zealand, (NCWNZ). The submission we present has been prepared from a background of policy decisions and previous submissions on related matters, which were written following consultation with the membership of our organisation. We welcome the opportunity to convey our organisation’s views to the Committee and wish to record NCWNZ’s support in general of the proposed Bill. We support the intent of the Bill to protect vulnerable workers through the restoration of key minimum standards, the repeal of discriminatory practices, and the strengthening of collective bargaining and union rights in the workplace. Our organisation’s view is that women feature in significant numbers among workers engaged in casual, temporary, fixed-term and zero-hour employment that can be characterised by low and/or fluctuating pay, uncertain duration, and with limited or no access to training, career progression and employment rights and benefits such as sick leave and holiday pay. Legislation that generates improvements for vulnerable workers is good news for women in the workplace, and it is anticpated that enhancements to collective bargaining and union rights will generate broader improvements for women not only in terms of decreasing their vulnerability, but in making progress towards pay equity, and closing the gender pay gap.

This year it was the turn of DANZ to visit New Zealand for the 24th Inter-parliamentary meeting. As the visit was on a non-sitting week for the New Zealand Parliament, this meeting was held in Auckland to enable easier attendance for New Zealand parliamentarians. This was followed by meetings in Wellington, including with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, three New Zealand Cabinet Ministers and the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. DANZ’s visit this year was comprised of a larger delegation than usual. Eight members of the European Parliament (MEPs) came to New Zealand, including a Vice President. The members were from five of the six main political groups in the European Parliament – the European People's Party (Christian Democrats), the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, Renew Europe, the Greens/European Free Alliance and the European Conservatives and Reformists. 1 The DANZ visit was led by Chairperson, Ulrike Müller MEP, who also led the previous delegation to New Zealand in 2018.2 Inter-parliamentary meeting The 2020 meeting was held on Monday 24th February. The New Zealand Members of Parliament who attended are listed at the end of this report.

It was also to give the delegation a deeper context into New Zealand in advance of the European Union – New Zealand Free Trade Agreement while discussing further cooperation and growth in bilateral relations.

The dinner was also attended by New Zealand members of Parliament: - Simon O’Connor, Chairperson Foreign Affairs and Defence and Trade Committee; - - Kieran McAnulty, member Business and Primary Production select committees, Junior Whip, Labour Party; - Willow-Jean Prime, Parliamentary Private Secretary for local government and member of the Governance and Administration select committee; and - Dr Duncan Webb, Chairperson, Environment select committee and member Finance and Expenditure, and Regulations Review, select committees.

Members Not Present: Camilla Belich, (Lab). Introduction Kia Ora, Good morning, my name is Rae Duff and my colleague is Beryl Anderson, Convenor of the Parliamentary Watch Committee of the National Council of Women of New Zealand (NCWNZ). I am speaking on behalf of the National Council of Women New Zealand (NCWNZ) and Graduate Women New Zealand (GWNZ) who made a joint submission on this Bill. We support the learning of other languages as it fosters an appreciation for the cultural traditions, religions, arts, and history of the people associated with those languages. Greater understanding, in turn, promotes greater tolerance, empathy, and acceptance of others, which is vital for the ever- increasing multicultural NZ society. Learning another language also meets some of the targets of Sustainable Development Goals to which New Zealand is a signatory – especially from Goal 4 on Education, which are outlined in our submission. However, both organisations consider that there are several major issues and queries that need to be answered before we can fully support this Bill.
