The National Government is looking to reduce part-time workers’ sick leave entitlements.
This move will disproportionately affect disabled people and women – including mothers – as they are more likely to be working part-time.
Other ways National is making life harder for workers:
• Scrapping Fair Pay Agreements
• Cutting the Pay Equity Taskforce
• Paring back funding to WorkSafe
• Delaying pay transparency work
• Bringing back 90-day trials
• Stopping the minimum wage top-up for disabled workers
• Cutting thousands of public service jobs
