CTU Submits on 2025 Employment Relations Bill
Minister for Workplace Relations Brooke van Velden’s Employment Relations Amendment Bill has passed its first reading. If it becomes law, it would seriously undermine workers’ rights in New Zealand’s legal system. This Bill threatens every working person in the country.
The NZCTU Te Kauae Kaimahi has put together this guide for submissions-make sure the Government hears workers’ voices on this issue. Submissions close 13 August.
e.g. “I oppose the Employment Relations Amendment Bill.”
Tell the Select Committee why you oppose the changes being made to the Employment Relations Act 2000. We recommend making this personal and putting it in your own words.
You can recommend changes to the Bill, or you can recommend it not be passed at all. We recommend abandoning the Bill. Be clear and specific in your answer:
