This year’s election is an important one for you and all Kiwi workers. It will decide what sort of change New Zealand workers can expect over the next few years. Make sure you are enrolled to vote - check your details here [2].

The Council of Trade Unions election campaign is focused on three core issues: rights at work [3], strong public services [4] and higher wages [5]. The CTU wants to know where all political parties stand on all three. More importantly, we want to know what they plan to do about them in the future.
