Employers, unions and health and safety advocates are calling for engineered stone to be banned, a day before consultation on regulations closes. On Friday the PSA lodged a pay equity claim for library assistants with the Employment Relations Authority, after the stalling of a claim lodged with six councils in 2019. A handful of Manawatū's retired unionists are hoping to formalise their organisation, the Retired Unionists' Movement - the impetus being the NZCTU's Fight Back Together campaign.
