The Council of Trade Unions is concerned that working people are continuing to bear the costs of the COVID-19 crisis.
“Today’s figures from Statistics New Zealand show that 54% of all working people did not receive a pay increase in the last year. People working in both the public and private sectors experienced wage increases as measured by the Labour Cost Index of 1.6% – which means that in real terms their wages were flat. As the economy recovers from COVID-19, we should be making sure that all working people are benefitting from that recovery,” said CTU Economist and Director of Policy Craig Renney.

Press Release – Council of Trade Unions
Unions will join with the local Myanmar community in a show of solidarity for the popular movement for democracy in Myanmar.
A military coup on 1 February 2021 deposed the elected government and has led to massive public opposition. The military response to the protests, civil disobedience and general strikes has so far left thousands injured and more than 750 dead [AAPP], including many young protesters killed by a single gunshot to the head. It is estimated that the civil disruption has closed down 91% of government activity.
Secretary of the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions and Trustee of UnionAID, Melissa Ansell-Bridges is encouraging people to attend. “We are part of an international community supporting the people of Myanmar who are determined to see the coup overthrown and democracy restored. Support for the civil disobedience movement in Myanmar is vital. It is working, and it is our best hope for the restoration of democracy.
