Brooke Van Velden outlines new Employment Leave Act for NZ workers
Brooke Van Velden unveils the Employment Leave Act, replacing the Holidays Act. The new system simplifies annual, sick, parental, and casual leave, with hours-based accrual, fair pro-rata sick leave, and transparency for employers and employees.
You have to admit it, the Minister for Handmaids, Brooke van Velden is in it to win it.
Girlfriend just wants it more!
Sure, part time workers and women will all be crucified by the new sick day laws…
Part-time workers to get less sick leave as law changed
…but by removing the need to wait 12 months before you can access sick leave, Brooke has allowed it to be accessed immediately!
And why did the Left hand a Minister who kneecapped pay parity such an enormous win?
Because Labour’s incremental fecklessness on sick pay by siding with the bosses to give a 12 month stand down has been ruthlessly exploited by Brooke, she’s played our weakness off against our cowardice.
She is an alpha predator and the Union movement are still reeling in shock at playing chequers against a chess master.
Once again, the Right exploit our cowardice.
We wouldn’t be giving Brooke this enormous win if we’d had balls when negotiating the 10 days sick pay in the first place.
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.
brooke van velden is a loony. I’ve known people like her in the film industry. They can never be creative but lurk with the money in the shadows inside production. If one were to be brave enough to sit her down and have a psychologist dissect her leathery little mind you’d find a vacant, secondhand car sales yard stuck between two disco’s.
We should, perhaps, be more concerned with who, or rather what, voted for it.
Labour is he right wing of the same bird
Kill a worker a day is her moto .
Pathetic gordon.
What is he not trying – you could do better than one a day bob1st?
Bob can only do one a day as he spends most of the day visiting his mentor…

” Because Labour’s incremental fecklessness on sick pay by siding with the bosses to give a 12 month stand down has been ruthlessly exploited by Brooke, she’s played our weakness off against our cowardice ”
Replace our with LINO cowardice and double standards. Hipkins and Edmonds can’t and won’t support anything that empowers the workforce of the business community whose boots they lick with every speech and meeting they attend to show there is no threat from the political left. The pictures of Michael Joseph Savage adorning their caucus and offices are for the illusion that they are standing with working class New Zealanders.
To get a real perspective on policies and the threat facing working people I listen and watch Corbyn , Sanders and Mamdani newly elected mayor of New York and what they are advocating as real progressive regulated capitalisim.
These three examples are a million miles away from the NZLP and its leadership.
” Once again, the Right exploit our cowardice ”
The right including LINO support the exploited economy and take advantage of the fact that there is no real alternative or fight from the progressive left.
I think that Norm Kirk was the last decent Labour leader. Helen Clark, Michael Cullen & Jacinda Ardern did alright, but still worked within a broken system instead of making changes that needed to happen.
‘Mamdani newly elected mayor of New York’
Get your facts right, election isn’t until Nov 4th
I see you are wetting yourself with excitement….let’s see if he makes it to Nov 4, he has a lot of skeletons in his Muslim cupboard that will be uncovered!
