Christopher Luxon has broken his promise to working Kiwis by slashing sick leave and cutting holiday entitlements.

“Another day, another broken promise from a ‘wealthy and sorted’ Prime Minister who is out of touch with the reality of everyday Kiwis’ lives,” Labour’s workplace relations and safety spokesperson Jan Tinetti said.

“Christopher Luxon says he doesn’t need his job, but he’s happy to make life harder for the many Kiwis who need theirs.

“With these changes, almost 600,000 part-time workers will be forced to choose between going to work sick or losing pay. It will also mean Kiwis working extra hours won’t have it reflected in the leave they earn.

“National have scrapped fair pay agreements, cut women’s pay, weakened health and safety laws, and now they’re making life harder for working Kiwis.

“Labour has always stood by workers and will reverse these callous changes.

“While National continues to attack hard working Kiwis’ rights, Labour will keep fighting to protect them,” Jan Tinetti said.
