Government has introduced legislation under urgency to allow employers to deduct workers pay for engaging in partial strikes, which will give further power to bosses to intimidate workers and will lead to the escalation of industrial disputes. NZNO workers begin rolling strikes in Auckland today, in their latest round of industrial action. In other union news, CTU Economist Craig Renney has been disinvited from attending an upcoming Treasury lockup. In political news, a series of new polls have been released, one showing a majority of NZers support AUKUS pillar two, and two political polls showing significant increases in support for Te Pāti Māori.
