EPMU Manukau rally 2008

Work rights are some of the most important rights you have. They give you the rights you need to get higher wages, win better conditions and keep your workplace safe.

That's why this August the EPMU ran 25 mass member rallies around the country to get your views on the basic work rights we should expect from the next government.

We've taken your concerns and surveyed every political party in parliament to find out where they stand on protecting and extending your work rights. Check out our Work Rights Survey tab above to see how they stack up.
