For their weekly catch up with Te Pāti Māori, Oto spoke to Mariameno Kapa-Kingi about Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori last week, Gang patch legislation passing into law, and New Zealand supporting a UN resolution, calling for an end of Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
He spoke to Nicole Wallace from the Tertiary Education Union to discuss a recent series of proposed cuts to short postgraduate courses at the University of Auckland.
And he spoke to John Minto from Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa to discuss Israel’s exploding pager attack in Lebanon last week, as well as New Zealand voting in favour of the UN General assembly resolution demanding an end to Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories.
For their weekly catch up, Evie spoke to the ACT Party’s Simon Court about restricting contract workers from challenging their employment status, and the ban on gang patches passing into law.
She also spoke to E Tū National Secretary Rachel Mackintosh about the same planned changes to the contractor employment law, why the Union opposes these, and what negative impact she believes it will have.
Unions say that the government's change to employment law restricting contractors from challenging their status in the employment court, is a step in the wrong direction.
The change comes off the back of the landmark decision by the employment court to grant four contract uber drivers the status of an employee. The government now wants to prevent this from happening again.
E Tū Union National Secretary Rachel Mackintosh says this change will lock in the exploitation which Uber’s current model relies on.
Producer Evie spoke to Mackintosh about why the government is implementing the changes and how it will negatively affect workers.
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.
I found a poster online for an insane looking festival in Louisville, Kentucky and played a few artists that were towards the bottom in the smaller print. And heaps of others too.
