Union activism wins election for Labour

"The CTU is proud to have led a successful union movement campaign in the most important Election in our generation" CTU president Ross Wilson said today.
"Union volunteer activists have been working for months to enrol workers and to inform them of the issues in this vital election." he said.

"There is no doubt that the high worker turnout in city seats, particularly South Auckland, has won the election for the centre-left."

"The CTU looks forward to continuing to work closely with a Clark led Government." Ross Wilson said.

"Our national interest as a small country requires us to continue to work together" he said.

"The National Party exploited prejudice and greed to divide New Zealanders during the campaign" he said "It is a huge relief that we can continue to build a strong and united country around the economic and social development strategies which have produced such excellent results over the past 6 years."
