ACC will suffer without worker representation
CTU media release

ACC will suffer without worker representation
The lack of worker representation on the new ACC board announced today is a severe shortcoming, said CTU President Helen Kelly.
‘We are extremely disappointed that both Wayne Butson and Ross Wilson have been removed from the ACC board,’ said Kelly. ‘The loss of their vast experience and knowledge of the scheme will be a great disadvantage to the management of ACC.’
‘Expert opinion has completely discredited the Government’s claims that ACC was badly managed and that costs were out of control. Today’s announcement only serves to confirm our belief that the criticism of the chair and board was politically motivated, and that the removal of worker representation paves the way towards partial privatisation and the reduction of claimant entitlements.’
