This year in Auckland we are marching to oppose the privatising plans of Mayor John Banks and his Council. Keep Council services; preserve pensioner housing. Banks Out! Pensioners In!
Defend workers' rights - scrap all anti-strike laws. There are still many restrictions on the legal right to strike. Workers and their unions can be fined tens of thousands of dollars if a strike is deemed 'illegal'.
