Labour employment relations policy deals with important issues

The Mar­itime Union of New Zealand has wel­comed the release of the Labour Par­ty’s pol­i­cy for employ­ment rela­tions today.

Mar­itime Union Gen­er­al Sec­re­tary Trevor Han­son says it is impor­tant that the pol­i­cy has focussed on pro­vid­ing pro­tec­tions for work­ers in a time of glob­al eco­nom­ic tur­moil.

“The Mar­itime Union posi­tion is that we need to pay more atten­tion to the job secu­ri­ty and sta­bil­i­ty for work­ers, and this pol­i­cy has tak­en these issues on board.”
