Description

Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Brooke van Velden has confirmed that her Ministry is considering sick leave cuts for part-time employees as something business owners want.


Full-time kaimahi are eligible for 10 days’ sick leave, but Laures Park from the United Council of Trade Unions, says sickness doesn’t care what hours you work.







Park says the Government scrapped Pay Equity claims to claw back pūtea for Finance Minister Nicola Willis’ May Budget, and this is yet another penny pincher, both at the expense of wahine.
