Dodgy!
OPINION: If you believe Maori Party president John Tamihere’s claim that “nothing dodgy” occurred at Manurewa Marae during the last election, the Hound has a bridge to sell you.
"We need unionism now more than ever. To fight climate change and inequality, to platform the voices of historically marginalised peoples, to change our broken social structures.'
Really? No mention of sticking up for workers rights, fighting for better wages, ensuring staff health and safety conditions or even tacking the thorny issue of vaccine mandates.
As one former PSA member pointed out to yours truly, "Nothing at all about fighting for members' jobs, rights or working conditions. They've confused 'union' with being 'woke'".
It is not hard to see why most workers feel unions are way out-of-touch and don't bother belonging to one anymore!
