Helping Workers for 100+ Years

The New Zealand Meat Workers and Related Trades Union (Inc.) helps the country's meat industry workers with employment agreements, health and safety issues and many other industrial relations and social issues. We've been doing this since 1912.

The union covers up to 23,000 permanent and seasonal workers employed over 75 sites in the New Zealand meat industry. This includes workers in

• freezing works
• tanneries
• fertiliser plants
• halal operations
• small meat processing plants
• small goods processors.
