The government is being accused of copy and pasting Uber's position on contractors - and adopting it as official policy.

Today we’re launching a public petition that calls for full Government funding of our ambulance services - no emergency medical service should have to rely on charity donations to fund their operations. Click the link to sign and share the petition:.

FIRST Union and @EtuUnion are devastated that WPI has confirmed their intention to close the Karioi and Tangiwai mills. We thank everyone who fought for the ~300 jobs and impacted families and communities. This could have been avoided by our Government and electricity retailers.

Thousands of Woolworths workers will walk off the job today. $1b paid to Woolworths shareholders in 5 years, 13 days of negotiation, and still no offer of fair pay or safe staffing. Workers: You are many, you are strong, and you are worth more. Tautoko. #WoolworthsWalkout
