New Zealand ‘mega strike’: 100,000 public sector workers demand better conditions Teachers, nurses and public service staff among those walking off job and pressing for more government investment in health and education

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our public service workers today ✊ #nzpol

General Strike! In 1979, nearly 400,000 workers downed tools in New Zealand’s only nationwide work stoppage

Yesterday’s mega strike was epic, but back in 1979 - Aotearoa saw its only ever general strike.

Collins is out of touch.

Where are the jobs?

#nzpol A group of 20 senior economists including the NZCTU's Craig Renney has written to the Finance Minister and Prime Minister warning that the government’s economic strategy is failing and is causing “long-term harm” to communities across New Zealand.

How rich are New Zealand’s 1%?

We’ve just seen what the Italian’s achieved…

NZ not yet recognising Palestinian state, Foreign Minister Winston Peters announces The government has decided against recognising Palestinian statehood, retaining its "when, not if" position.

I’m ashamed of New Zealand. We used to stand for something. Stood up against nuclear testing. NZF is just IDF first. #freepalestine

Libertarianism sounds good in theory but doesn’t work in practice. Eventually, you’ll need a handout.

text reading "Sick leave changes, the facts: - Part-time workers lose their minimum sick leave entitlement. - It will be a few years until these changes come into practical effect. - If your Collective Agreement contains sick leave entitlements, then they are safe. Join your union now!"

A photo of Dennis Maga, Workers First General Secretary, on the Good Morning show, with text on top reading ""No matter what hours you work, everyone is prone to getting sick, and especially those with kids who are more likely to be in part-time work""

The Government's announced sick day legislation changes strip minimum leave entitlements from part time workers.

The changes will take a few years to come into practical effect, and union members with sick leave entitlements stated in Collective Agreements will not be affected. Join your union!

You cannot be disciplined for, or stopped from, talking about your pay rate.

Not only that, your employer also can't refuse to offer you a promotion or disadvantage you in any way on the basis of you talking about your pay. Thanks to Camilla Belich’s 2025 Employment Relations Amendment Bill.

How Argentina’s Javier Milei lost the markets and turned to Donald Trump Libertarian president’s tight grip on inflation cost him dollars and slowed growth

The problem with capitalism: the system only works with government bailouts.

‘Fat but fit’: what the latest study reveals Being slightly overweight might not shorten your life, but being very thin might.

Fat but fit? A lot of fatphobia is driven by judgmental aestheticism not data.

For all the talk about protecting rural communities, the right seems disinclined to stop the collapse of manufacturing plants in the regions. This is the ‘free’ market at work.
