National has turned it into a con test.
Is there any political party saying those things? If so, who? If not, why not?
I'm unsure if Americans could have elected a President more out of touch with the issues affecting those who voted for him.
The CTU doesn't have members. They have affiliate unions. Your suggestion has been discussed by unions. They would need to be at arms length of the labour hire company and would require clients, many of whom would rather support the current arrangements ...
I agree that some form of compulsion is required. A return to compulsory unionism must come from the CTU, and I don't understand why they remain silent on the issue considering the evidence they and others have gathered that makes clear the loss of a voice...
And many many more...........Yes, lets not forget our sporting hero's Richie, Dan, Bodie and JK's new pet Brendan.
For a variety of reasons, not least the introduction of the Employment Contracts Act 1991, over $19 billion that should have gone into the pockets of working people since the mid '80's, has instead gone to increasing the dividends for company shareholders,...
Little suffers from the sins of the father syndrome. He needs to stop pussy footing around and start saying what he really thinks about housing, health,immigration, the regions,crime, wages, work - you name it. It's as if he's too guarded about the "they ...
Could anyone imagine a strong well resourced democratic union movement allowing the current gap that exists in our largest city between wages and house prices? If the Award system for wage fixing was still in existence and it was compulsory to belong to a ...
Any chance of Nicola Standing's phone number?
Kia Ora Tane. What are your views on the King stating his lack of confidence in Labours leader and decision to support the Maori & Mana parties?
The Reserve Bank Governor is a great name for the role he plays. Sitting on the bench for the last seven years waiting for the coach to put him into action on the court.
" There are many things that people do not wish to do and which they would not do if they were able to exercise "individual freedoms", but which parliament has legislated to require. The role of parliament in a parliamentary democracy includes passing laws...
Yeah yeah yeah. Soon you'll be saying that paying taxes is a civil right. Oh that's right, you do. Because voting is a matter of secrecy, there is nothing to stop the voter from invalidating their vote. In the May 2005 UK elections, turnout varied ...
Since the introduction of compulsory voting in Australia in 1924, the turnout has never fallen below 90%. Voting, like compulsory education or jury service is a civil duty that cannot simply be ignored. Is there a brave enough political party that is ...
"See. It begins from birth, the males do all the talking and screaming while the females keep their silence."
Where the vanguard camps today, the rear guard rests tomorrow.
And in Hawaii where John likes to holiday, the locals live under canvas while the tourists and the rich & famous overlook them from their apartments and palatial homes. Cool eh.
You're a fuckwit. Fuck off.
I spent half the night checking up on this. Labour hire employees are not contractors. They are employees of the labour hire company. Many are registered with multiple hire company's and if not suitable for a job will shift from one to the other. Forget ...
I don't believe you are right re their employment status. A self employed person is required to attend to a number of legal requirements to become self employed. I just don't see that happening for many of these workers. I'm convinced they are employees, ...
But isn't that the point of a Probation period as opposed to a Trial period? A probation period allows for a personal grievance on the grounds of unjustified dismissal during the period of probation. Such grounds are denied during the trial period should a...
I think you will find that regardless of who controls the day to day aspects of the job, the agency worker is employed by the agency. Off-shore workers are, for example, often employed by an employment agency ( e.g Programmed Marine Services) but come ...
Little is playing a bit cute with his revised views on this issue. He has realized that small business owners who employ 2 or 3 people will not vote for his party if he were to abolish 90 day trials completely, and small business owners make up a ...
The 90 day trial period is fast becoming superfluous. The reason is the increasing number of workers employed through labour hire agencies and hired out to employers who have no responsibilities or commitment to their long or short term employment. An ...
"Geez Bill, a Safety Station. Is it gonna be that dreadful.?"
Most of us, and the numbers are increasing daily, are still waiting for the 'Brighter Future"
A clever & deliberate speech that allows room for a coalition partner or two to speak on areas he over-looked.
You tell me. Mum & dad? Teachers and schools? The Labour party & Unions?
Workers would rather look forward to a tax cut than join a union and fight for wage increases. Then they will moan about having to wait three months for an appointment with a specialist to maybe have a public hospital surgery in 12 months or never.
A Labour led Government will set up a new SOE "NZ Water". The enterprise will become the sole exporter of NZ's precious natural resource. Four bottling factories will be established, two in the North Is and two in the South. 300 new jobs will be created ...
