  • 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.
