The government has outlined its upcoming changes to the law to clarify whether a worker is an employee or a contractor. The changes would restrict contractors from challenging their status in the employment court.
This comes following a case brought to the employment court in 2022, in which four Uber drivers were granted the rights of employees, rather than of contractors as they were employed. Thus allowing these drivers to be entitled to protections such as guaranteed hours, leave, kiwisaver contributions and the right to unionise.
Uber appealed the decision, but were dismissed. Now the government wants to adjust the law to prevent this from occurring again.
For their weekly catch up Producer Evie spoke to the ACT Party’s Simon Court about this change, and the concerns that have arisen around it.
They also talked about the gang patch legislation passing into law, including last minute additions to the bill and how it will be imposed.
Abby chats to Jonny about the new book from Airana Ngarewa (Ngāti Ruanui, Nga Rauru, Ngāruahine). Ngāti Pātea/Pātea Boysis a bilingual book in reo Māori and English about a group of boys growing up in Pātea and is a fantastic resource for those on their reo Māori journey - perfect for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.
