The Herald continues its campaigning today with a puff piece about a poll that claims business wants National’s 90 day ‘fire at will‘ policy enacted as soon as possible.
The policy would remove the right of any worker in a small business to appeal against unfair dismissal during their first 90 days in a new job. But apparently the Herald didn’t think workers – you know, us, the people whose rights are being taken away – were worth talking to.
Instead, they quoted National’s employment spokesperson Kate Wilkinson – “It certainly reinforces the need for a commonsense policy like this” – and Ben Ridler, the managing director of something called the ‘Results Group’ – “It only takes a couple of bad hires to kill a small business, so this flexibility is urgent.”
The Herald acts like it’s a journal for the ruling class, then they wonder why people aren’t buying their newspapers.
