Government is considering changes to how much sick leave workers get
You just have to give it to Crook van Velden – Girlfriend just wants it more.
After crippling Unions with anti-Union laws, gutting work safe and kneecapping pay parity, she’s now coming for sick days and the Unions only response is a stern telling off.
She’ll listen to that.
Brooke saying she doesn’t want to steal your sick pay is like Israel saying they’re only targeting terrorists – no one believes them.
ACT believe in allowing the market to decide if children should go up chimneys level deregulation so she will almost certainly steal your sick days the way she robbed pay parity workers.
How does it feel to be so slavishly supporting the Bosses Kiwis?
It’s weird because most of the political right are anti-vaccine, hate Māori and despise trans, but who picked simpering prostitutes for Corporations?
This Government with its anti-worker agenda and a budget where they literally took from the pockets of workers to stuff it into the pockets of the bosses is surprising because it speaks to the ease with which the right have manipulated your post Covid bitterness by parading culture war revenge fantasies in front of you while they implement their donors interests.
This is who we is now, this simpering coward for the boss man is what we have become.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Well apparently in this so called MMP democracy ‘representation to all and sundry political system’ the voters voted this time around to be governed by kiddies, 40 year old virgins, conspiracy theorists, alt right lunatics, white supremist red band wearing cow cockies, racists, fascists, corporate raiders, banksters, and pig ignorant gun barrel kissers – so the rest of us will have to just put up till we get to spin the electorate wheel of fortune again. We can protest in the meantime though.
well put Phill
Yes….she is a very weird bot that one..
So what’s the proposal?
Even the right wing Stuff readership are 84% in favour of the status quo.
Brick by brick they will dismantle the protections that are left in the labour relations act. They will do it in a way that does not provoke anger and that the changes are to our benefit. They will play it all under cover. This attack has been years in the making. And the Union movement are incredibly compromised. They have no strategy to fight this except to voice their displeasure.
NACT know the Union movement are weak and will be determined to silence any worker opposition permanently.
The government has majority support for its actions with Kiwis accepting the removal of hard fought for entitlements as necessary for the economy and business profit and success.
Entitlements are reserved for the top echelon rich listers and people like Luxon and his colleagues.
Working people are about to find out ( if they didn’t know already ) how viscous , cruel and devious these people are. They will come for annual leave pushing for reducing four weeks to three. They will encourage the move to contracts that enable no entitlements , no protections , no pay increases. Don’t like it ? the next person is right behind you waiting to sign up.
If they could outlaw unions entirely and minimize the mythical threat they pose they would at the stroke of a pen.
Human rights are nice to have’s and the attack will continue and become permanent with NACT re elected next year.
New Zealand workers are about to get the shit kicked out of them.
ACT , Roger and Ruth’s baby is going to complete the neo liberal revolution finally after being held back for thirty years.
So true all of what you say .Down hill for NZ from here .They fail to realize they are destroying their main customer base .Soon the workers will have no spending money ,which retail are seeing already with shops closing daily all over nz .Cutting off ones nose to spite your face comes to mind .
“They will encourage the move to contracts that enable no entitlements , no protections , no pay increases. Don’t like it ? the next person is right behind you waiting to sign up.”
Way worse than that. Remember the zero hour contract. Not so much people right behind you waiting to sign up, more like if you want any hours get down on your knees and give head.
I wonder when kiwi will eventually wake up to the fact that our current government does nothing for us.
Pay equity, WorkSafe and now sick leave.
What’s next, reducing the minimum wage?
There will be a freeze on wages next, although it is happening now by the many protests around the country.
Yes I am sure thats on the list .
So an employee who is one of the 300k plus who is under employed is going to get shafted .If said employee works 4 hrs a day every day and gets sick they are entitled to 40 hrs sick leave per year under the current system .Under the new system they will only get 20 hours per year .
As long as I was working sick leave was always measured in hours taken as some times you only took a half day or a couple of hours if you went home sick .Those 2 hours were deducted from the 40 hours or what ever was still allowed .
Any boss who thinks cutting back on staff sick leave is a good idea isn’t good at business. Or reality of how work places work.
any worker who thinks the boss is an ATM tree needs sacked
And yet the working man still votes Tory go figure
maybe they will have learned the valuable lesson now those middle class WORKING people who now realize they are no where near in the sorted club .
‘And yet the working man still votes Tory go figure’
The problem is the working people who do NOT vote because they have lost faith in governments doing anything for them.
because WORKING folk, not bludgers see the common sense in brookes changes.
If you learned to follow the money instead of your trumpet you would see that the sick leave change only benefits the employer and us working folk with common sense are against the plan.
its not your bosses fault you fall ill, 5 days is ample for a 40hr week worker
That is pathetic trumpet, a 40 hour a week worker may have children or an elderly parent and yeah I know, I know it’s not the employers fault but the employment law is the employment law and that’s not the employees fault.
You must be a close friend to this guy trumpet, the poor businessman who took advantage of others…

They are coming for us with a gentle smile !
” Business leaders are backing changes to the Employment Relations Act aimed at improving labour market flexibility, but the Public Service Association call the changes “radical” and warning it will amount to less secure employment ”
” Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Brooke van Velden announced on Tuesday the introduction of the Employment Relations Amendment Bill to Parliament ”

You do realise that when a lipstick wearing headstone like van veldon makes a fuss most swivel their heads to turn to her as if her opinions actually matter. You poor suckers!
She’s (?) a buckled jigsaw piece from a puzzle that’s so far managed, by most, to be unsolvable, mainly because there are so many pieces missing or rather hidden.
I’d state: ” Really? ” She’s dangling off seymours arse like a dag who, in turn dangles off douglas who, in turn dangles off the natzo’s who have our primary industry farmer individuals dangling off a fucking cliff and all pushed there by the special-needs lumbering Ox, Hoggard. Again, I mean, really?
Anything van velden or seymour our luxon says, or worse, promises, has all the relevance of a marshmallow at a knife fight in the middle of a gun fight.
We have no governance. Let me be clear on that. What we do have is a motley crew who can smell easy millions. We desperately need to re focus our binoculars past the dags to the warm, beautiful light of the Truth and the Truth is that we urgently need to take back the steerage of our lovely AO/NZ.
