Marama Davidson: Green Party co-leader on the party's members bill to make union membership the default
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
The Greens have made an election pledge to make union membership automatic for new employees.
Co-leader Marama Davidson says this members bill and policy would make union membership the default setting for new employees, who could choose to opt out.
Davidson explained that unions are a critical way for workers to get better pay and conditions and this bill will make it easier for them to get involved.
"This is a good idea, and of course we need to protect privacy - at the same time, normal accountabilities will apply."
