We will miss Russel Norman as Green Leader
The
CTU wants to acknowledge the brilliant work, on behalf of
New Zealand workers, of Greens leader Russel Norman
today.
“Russel has ensured the Green Party are an active supporter of the rights of workers and are vocal on all the issues that are important to them. He led a vigorous fight for the Greens in Parliament against the most recent attack on collective bargaining and breaks and has a deep understanding of the link between social, economic and environmental issues and worker wellbeing,” CTU President, Helen Kelly, says.
“Russel has been very strong on the need for decent jobs and was a leader in the inquiry into the future of manufacturing in New Zealand,” Kelly says.
“Many New Zealand union members have met Russel through his participation in their campaigns and disputes and he is highly regarded. We want to thank Russel for his support and advocacy over the last nine years,” Kelly says.
