OECD report pushes discredited anti-worker ideology

The Mar­itime Union says a just released OECD report on the New Zealand econ­o­my is a polit­i­cal­ly dri­ven doc­u­ment with a right-wing, anti-work­ing class agen­da.

Mar­itime Union of New Zealand Gen­er­al Sec­re­tary Trevor Han­son says some of the “mar­ket ori­ent­ed reforms” pro­posed by the OECD report had been so dis­cred­it­ed by the recent eco­nom­ic cri­sis and past his­to­ry that it was a sur­prise any­one could sug­gest them with a straight face.

“How dare the authors of this report come out and preach poli­cies that end in casu­al­ized jobs, long hours, shift work and low wages for New Zealand work­ers?”
