Dinosaur Unions Drive Labour's Employment Law

Dinosaur Unions Drive Labour's Employment Law

Monday 13 Sep 2004

Rodney Hide - Press Releases - Economy - Employment Campaign

ACT New Zealand Leader Rodney Hide today said that the Employment Relations Law Reform Bill shows the union movement is calling the shots within the Labour Government - not the needs of an innovative and growth-orientated economy.

"The Bill is fatally flawed. It forces employees to conclude a collective agreement, and ensures employers could be fined for simply expressing a true opinion about a union.

"The legislation is designed to prop up unions, and will make it all the harder in New Zealand to employ people and create growth," Mr Hide said.
