In union and employment news, FIRST Union are advocating for Woolworths staff who were underpaid, Tramways are supporting an Auckland bus driver who was attacked, and the PPTA are raising the alarm about new literacy and numeracy testing requirements under NCEA. In political and economic news, there remains a focus on wealth taxes and Labour’s policy manifesto, ACT are opposing new supermarket regulations, and new research shows long covid could be costing the country $2bn annually.
