ACT Will Target Nine Key Areas In ERB Debate

ACT will be targeting nine key areas with amendments during the Employment Relations Bill debate, said ACT Leader, Hon Richard Prebble.

The nine key changes ACT will seek are;

 Unions should not have a monopoly to negotiate collective agreements.

 Multi-employer bargaining and strikes should not be legalised

 All employees, new or otherwise, should not be forced to be on the union collective.

 The powers of the newly created Employment Relations Authority, whose membership are not required to have legal training, should be curtailed or completely removed.

 Unions should not have open access to enter workplaces and business premises.

 The new labour inspectors (the employment Gestapo) should have their powers curtailed or completely removed.

 Unions should not be able to terminate existing collective agreements from July 1 next year.

 Employers should not have to pay for trade union education leave, collect union fees or give trade union information to staff.

 Personal grievance grounds should be narrowed and toughened, instead of becoming easier to bring and harder to defend.

“ACT will fight this radical, union-promoting employment legislation to the end,” said Hon Richard Prebble.
