Fairness @ Work Plays of the Week Issue 13

Welcome to Plays of the Week - a weekly heads up from the Council of Trade Unions Fairness @ Work campaign.

Your vote counts.  Who will you give it to?

Saturday’s election will be a close contest between worker friendly parties, and those that want to take away our work rights.  Every vote will count.  Saturday’s election gives us a chance to keep the gains we’ve made over the last nine years that have delivered fairness at work for Kiwis - gains such as higher minimum wages, paid parental leave, more holidays, cheaper doctor visits and prescriptions, free early childhood education and stronger public services.  Make sure you, and all of your friends, family and workmates are on the electoral roll, and vote. 

Fairness at Work YouTube trilogy climax!

Check out the third and final installment of the CTU’s online election trilogy, which hit the net this morning.  You can see it here: http://nz.youtube.com/nzctu. In the video, John Key and Bill English try to expand NZs boundaries in Asia...!

Did you know?

Did you know – that you cannot enroll on Election Day?  You must be enrolled by this Friday or your vote wont count.  If any of your workmates, friends or are not enrolled, then visit a Postshop, call 0800 36 76 56 or go to elections.org.nz pronto!
