Media release from Unions Wellington
Unions Wellington wishes to express its support for councilors voting to protect public assets such as the library. We are not concerned with ‘dysfunction’ in council driven by political differences, but we are very concerned by last minute maneuvering by council staff and the Mayor against the previously expressed wishes of the full council against asset sales.
Background
Unions Wellington is the Wellington regional body for the Council of Trade Unions. The trade union movement is the largest set of civil society organisations in Aotearoa, representing tens of thousands of workers in the Wellington region. As the body representing the working people of Wellington, we take a proactive interest in all matters that affect those working people.
