Tainted Public ‘Service’ pay for anti-Union Mega Strike Adverts???

Wait, wait, wait – WHAT?

Public Service Commission’s ads targeting strike ‘absolutely unbelievable’ – Labour

The Labour Party is concerned the public service commissioner is acting in an “overly politicised way”, as teachers and health workers prepare for a ‘mega strike’ later this week.

It comes as the Public Service Commission started running Facebook advertisements on Monday encouraging people to find out more about the strike action happening.

The ads contained information about previous offers that had been made to nurse practitioners, senior nurses and graduate nurses.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins says the Commission is overstepping, and Labour’s public services spokesperson Camilla Belich says it was an “absolutely unbelievable decision to weaponise the Public Service Commission against striking workers”.

Tens of thousands of teachers, doctors and nurses will walk off the job on Thursday, demanding better pay and working conditions.

…the Public ‘Service’ have spent taxpayer money attacking Unions for striking against policies that are detrimental to those same taxpayers???

This is outrageous!

Judith, Simeon and Luxon fear the Mega Strike…

• Public Service Minister Judith Collins published an open letter yesterday accusing nurses, teachers and doctors of launching a politically motivated and coordinated attack on students and patients with their Thursday ‘mega-strike.’

…let’s get this straight.

Judith has $400million for attack helicopters but claims the Government can’t afford to pay teachers, nurses and Drs properly?

Simeon threatens to change the law to stop Unions from striking…

Health Minister Simeon Brown mulls law change over feud with striking doctors

…yet his Government has hundreds of millions for the tobacco industry…

Govt set aside $216m to pay for heated tobacco product tax cuts

…Luxon blames the unions for the strikes…

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon blames unions for ongoing strike action

…yet he borrowed billions for landlords and rich tax cuts!

Don’t tell me we don’t have the money to pay our workers more when this Government have borrowed billions for the military, landlords, Big Tobacco and rich tax cuts!

Judith, Simeon and Luxon fear the Mega Strike because the Unions have finally woken up to the fact that this anti-worker Government fronted by the Minister of Handmaids, Brooke van Velden is here to destroy them.

The Union movement has finally realised they have to fight and that scares the bejesus out of the Right.
