Power, petrol, food, and rates have all gone up, while inflation surges above 4% in today's CPI numbers. Meanwhile, our wage growth is worse than anywhere else in the world. How are working people meant to keep up? #nzpol

The Employment Leave Bill is back from Select Committee. Here's a reminder of what it would mean for working people. #nzpol

The New Zealand Council of Trade Unions Te Kauae Kaimahi will continue to stand in solidarity with workers in New Zealand who are transgender and gender diverse. Senseless attacks on already vulnerable New Zealanders do nothing to bring us forward as a country. #nzpol

New Zealand isn't poor. Our country isn't broken. But we need to start rethinking the way we spend if we want to leave behind a legacy to be proud of. #nzpol

The National-led Government's Health and Safety Amendments will put workers lives at risk. Today at Parliament we handed over an open letter signed by over 12,000 New Zealanders calling on the Government to put a stop to the Health and Safety at Work Amendment Bill. #nzpol

Join us to fight back against ACT's health and safety changes. Workers will get hurt if this Bill is allowed to pass. #nzpol

#nzpol Unions, Pay Equity Coalition Aotearoa and the Human Rights Commission have lodged a formal complaint with the United Nations, asking it to investigate whether the Government's changes to New Zealand’s pay equity laws amount to systemic discrimination against women.

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Fight Back Together this May Day. Today we stood together as a movement to fight back against this anti-worker Government. This is only the beginning. Let's keep up the pressure and make sure that working people get what they're owed this election year. #nzpol

🚨BREAKING: The NZCTU has nominated Uber as one of 2026’s Corporate Underminers of Democracy. Wealthy multinationals should NEVER have a say in the laws that protect our people. (1/3) #nzpol

#nzpol🚨 URGENT LETTER FROM @sandragreynzctu.bsky.social TO PARTY LEADERS REGARDING FUEL CRISIS:

Peace is and always has been union business. This Anzac Day in Wellington a group of organisations working for peace, ecological well-being and decolonisation will be holding the Hīkoi for Peace. @sandragreynzctu.bsky.social will be speaking. Head along to stand for peace this Anzac Day. #nzpol

Your food's more expensive. Your power's more expensive. Your fuel's more expensive. But for minimum wage workers, pay's only gone up to $23.95 - that's just 45 cents an hour. New Zealanders can't afford this Government. #nzpol

#nzpol The NZCTU Te Kauae Kaimahi stands firmly with our trans and non-binary whānau. The Government has refused to protect trans, non-binary, and intersex New Zealanders under the Human Rights Act. (1/3)

The People's Select Committee report released today illustrated clearly what the National-led Government refuses to admit - New Zealanders care about paying working women what they're owed. #nzpol

Resene factory workers walked off the job yesterday for a Living Wage. E tū members at Resene have been fighting for a Living Wage since September. They're struggling to pay bills and put food on the table. Resene needs to do the right thing and pays its staff enough to live a decent life. #nzpol

1/3 Every New Zealander deserves to come home healthy and safe. Workers’ lives should never be put on the line in the name of profit. #nzpol

Tū kotahi ki Waitangi. Te Tiriti is union business ✊ #nzpol

#nzpol We need political leaders that listen to working people. Read Paul's full piece on Substack here: substack.com/home/post/p-...

#nzpol It's time that our political leaders start listening to workers in this country. New Zealand is in a cost of living crisis, and working people are struggling while the rich keep getting richer. 🔗 Read the full Mood of the Workforce report at union.org.nz

#nzpol New Zealanders want a health system that we can count on. But more and more we're hearing from frontline workers that the system is at a breaking point. This is just a fraction of the response we got from health workers in our Mood of the Workforce survey—read the full report at union.org.nz

#nzpol 1/2 At the start of 2025 we ran our annual Mood of the Workforce survey. Since then it's been a tough year for working people and their whānau - before we head into 2026, take a look at how workers were feeling at the start of this year:

The National-led Government is leaving low-paid workers behind. They've increased the Minimum Wage by 2% from April 1st 2026 - marking the third year in a row that the Minimum Wage will have fallen behind inflation. #nzpol

Putting workers into more precarious work helps no-one - except for the wealthy multinationals that this Bill benefits. The Employment Relations Amendment Bill should be scrapped. #nzpol #NZpolitics

Why is it "frankly disgusting" for parents and schools to stand up for what THEY believe is right for their tamariki? Why is the PM allowing his MPs to spread anti-worker, anti-Te Tiriti disinformation on social media? #nzpol

NZ stands with our firefighters ✊ They're facing a Dire Emergency: broken down trucks, dangerous staffing, faulty equipment, and FENZ refusing to address a failing system. Firefighters want to keep New Zealanders safe—but they need FENZ to show up and genuinely prioritise community safety. #nzpol
